The unique properties of silk fibroin were combined with keratin to develop new wound-dressing materials. Silk fibroin/keratin (SF/K) films were prepared to reduce high levels of elastase found on chronic wounds. This improved biological function was achieved by the incorporation of a small peptide synthesized based on the reactive-site loop of the Bowman-Birk Inhibitor (BBI) protein. In vitro ...

The use of fluorescence as an analytical technique in clinical biochemistry and pathology is in the process of developing and it is therefore important that those who use it should understand the underlying principles governing the phenomenon of fluorescence and its application, so that this elegant and sensitive technique can be used to its greatest advantage. Fluorescence has been studied by ...
