Influencing the degradation rate of recombinant spider silk in the presence of matrix metalloproteinases

Understanding the degradation behaviour of extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds is essential for predicting and advancing wound healing. Spider-silk based proteins are one type of biomaterial with the potential to be used as a matrix to improve would healing. In addition to good biocompatibility and...
