The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Stem cell-based tissue engineering with silk biomaterials. (2006, methodology): “During the formation of these scaffolds, silk fibroin generally undergoes a structural transition from random coil to b-sheet structures, regardless of the solvent used in the process [158,159].”
Water-Insoluble Silk Films with Silk I Structure (2009, methodology): “mori silk-fibroin solutions were prepared according to our previously published procedures [18].”
Silk fibroin as biomaterial for bone tissue engineering. (2016, background): “This is probably due to the partial dissolution of the NaCl particle surface as well as different degradability and structural changes [104,106].”
Sonication-induced gelation of silk fibroin for cell encapsulation. (2008, background): “Enzymatic (protease XIV) degradation of silk fibroin films, porous solid scaffolds, and silk fibroin yarns have been studied previously [7,8,44].”
Biodegradation of Silk Biomaterials (2009, background): “The crystalline portion contains repetitive amino acids (-GlyAla-Gly-Ala-Gly-Ser-) along its sequence, forming an antiparallel β-sheet and leading to the stability and mechanical properties of the fiber [22,28-30].”
