Abstract
Flexible electronics, applicable to enlarged health, AI big data medications, etc., have been one of the most important technologies of this century. Due to its particular mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, cocoon silk (or SF, silk fibroin) plays a key role in flexible electronics/photonics. The review begins with an examination of the hierarchical meso network structures of SF materials and introduces the concepts of meso reconstruction, meso doping, and meso hybridization based on the correlation between the structure and performance of silk materials. The SF meso functionalization was developed according to intermolecular nuclear templating. By implementation of the techniques of meso reconstruction and functionalization in the refolding of SF materials, extraordinary performance can be achieved. Relying on this strategy, particularly designed flexible electronic and photonic components can be developed. This review covers the latest ideas and technologies of meso flexible electronics and photonics based on SF materials/meso functionalization. As silk materials are biocompatible and human skin-friendly, SF meso flexible electronic/photonic components can be applied to wearable or implanted devices. These devices are applicable in human physiological signals and activities sensing/monitoring. In the case of human-machine interaction, the devices can be applicable in in-body information transmission, computation, and storage, with the potential for the combination of artificial intelligence and human intelligence.

Abstract
Compared to injection administration, oral administration is free of discomfort, wound infection, and complications and has a higher compliance rate for patients with diverse diseases. However, oral administration reduces the bioavailability of medicines, especially biologics (e.g., peptides, proteins, and antibodies), due to harsh gastrointestinal biological barriers. In this context, the development and prosperity of nanotechnology have helped improve the bioactivity and oral availability of oral medicines. On this basis, first, the biological barriers to oral administration are discussed, and then oral nanomedicine based on organic and inorganic nanomaterials and their biomedical applications in diverse diseases are reviewed. Finally, the challenges and potential opportunities in the future development of oral nanomedicine, which may provide a vital reference for the eventual clinical transformation and standardized production of oral nanomedicine, are put forward.

Abstract
Spider dragline silk is a remarkable protein fiber that is mechanically superior to almost any other natural or synthetic material. As a sustainable supply of natural dragline silk is not feasible, recombinant production of silk fibers with native-like mechanical properties and non-native physiochemical functions is highly desirable for various applications. Here, we report a new strategy for simultaneous functionalization and reinforcement of recombinant spider silk fibers by confined nanoparticle formation. First, a mimic silk protein (N16C) of spider Trichonephila clavipes was recombinantly produced and wet-spun into fibers. Drawing the as-spun fibers in water led to post-drawn fibers more suitable for the templated synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) with uniform distribution throughout the synthetic fibers. This was exemplified using a chemical precipitation reaction to generate copper sulfide nanoparticle-incorporated fibers. These fibers and the derived fabric displayed a significant photothermal effect as their temperatures could increase to over 40 °C from room temperature within 3 min under near-infrared laser irradiation or simulated sunlight. In addition, the tensile strength and toughness of the nanofunctionalized fibers were greatly enhanced, and the toughness of these synthetic fibers could reach 160.1 ± 21.4 MJ m-3, which even exceeds that of natural spider dragline silk (111.19 ± 30.54 MJ m-3). Furthermore, the confined synthesis of gold NPs via a redox reaction was shown to improve the ultraviolet-protective effect and tensile mechanical properties of synthetic silk fibers. These results suggest that our strategy may have great potential for creating functional and high-performance spider silk fibers and fabrics for wide applications.

Abstract
Two of the key questions to be addressed are whether and how one can turn cocoon silk into fascinating materials with different electronic and optical functions so as to fabricate the flexible devices. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the unique strategy of mesoscopic functionalization starting from silk fibroin (SF) materials to the fabrication of various meso flexible SF devices is presented. Notably, SF materials with novel and enhanced properties can be achieved by mesoscopically reconstructing the hierarchical structures of SF materials. This is based on rerouting the refolding process of SF molecules by meso-nucleation templating. As-acquired functionalized SF materials can be applied to fabricate bio-compatible/degradable flexible/implantable meso-optical/electronic devices of various types. Consequently, functionalized SF can be fabricated into optical elements, that is, nonlinear photonic and fluorescent components, and make it possible to construct silk meso-electronics with high-performance. These advances enable the applications of SF-material based devices in the areas of physical and biochemical sensing, meso-memristors, transistors, brain electrodes, and energy generation/storage, applicable to on-skin long-term monitoring of human physiological conditions, and in-body sensing, information processing, and storage.

Abstract
The unique properties of silk proteins (SPs), particularly silk sericin (SS) and silk fibroin (SF), have attracted attention in the design of scaffolds for tissue engineering over the past decades. Since SF has good mechanical properties, while SS displays bioactivity, scaffolds combining both proteins should exhibit complementary properties enhancing the potential of these materials. Unfortunately, SS-SF composites can generate chronic immune responses and their immunogenic element is not completely clear. The potential of SS-SF composites in tissue engineering, elements which may contribute to their immunogenicity, and alternatives for their preparation and design, to modulate the immune response and take advantage of their useful properties, are discussed in this review. It is known that SS can enhance β-sheet formation in SF, which may act as hydrophobic regions with a strong affinity for adsorption proteins inducing the chronic recruitment of inflammatory cells. Therefore, tailoring the exposure of hydrophobic regions at the scaffold surface should represent a viable strategy to modulate the immune response. This can be achieved by coating SS-SF composites with SS or other hydrophilic polymers, to take advantage of their antibiofouling properties. Research is still needed to realize the full potential of these composites for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) have numerous potential applications in lighting, engineering, and biomedicine. QDs are mainly excreted through the kidney due to their ultrasmall sizes; thus, the kidneys are target organs of QD toxicity. Here, an organoid screening platform is established and used to study the nephrotoxicity of QDs. Organoids are templated from monodisperse microfluidic Matrigel droplets and found to be homogeneous in both tissue structure and functional recapitulation within a population and suitable for the quantitative screening of toxic doses. Kidney organoids are proved displaying higher sensitivity than 2D-cultured cell lines. Similar to metal-containing QDs, black phosphorus (BP)-QDs are found to have moderate toxicity in the kidney organoids. The nephrotoxicity of BP-QDs are validated in both mice and human renal tubular epithelial cells. BP-QDs are also found to cause insulin insensitivity and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the kidney. Furthermore, ER stress-related IRE1α signaling is shown to mediate renal toxicity and insulin insensitivity caused by BP-QDs. In summary, this work demonstrates the use of constructed kidney organoids as 3D high-throughput screening tools to assess nanosafety and further illuminates the effects and molecular mechanisms of BP-QD nephrotoxicity. The findings will hopefully enable improvement of the safety of BP-QD applications.

Abstract
Silk fibroin-based materials spun by silkworms present excellent biocompatible and biodegradable properties, endowing them with broad applications for use in in vivo implanted devices. Therefore, it is highly desirable to explore functionalized silk with additional optical bioimaging abilities for the direct in situ monitoring of the status of implanted devices in vivo. Herein, a new type of silk material with a second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) emission is explored for the real-time observation of a biological stent model using a general route of feeding larval silkworms with lanthanide-based NaYF4:Gd3+/Yb3+/Er3+@SiO2 nanocrystals. After being fed lanthanide nanocrystals, the silk spun by silkworms shows efficient NIR-II emission beyond 1500 nm. Moreover, NIR-II bio-imaging guided biological stent model monitoring presents a superior signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio compared to the traditional optical imaging by utilizing the upconversion (UC) region. These findings open up the possibility of designing NIR-II optically functionalized silk materials for highly sensitive and deep-tissue monitoring of the in vivo states of the implanted devices.

Abstract
Silkworm silk has been considered to be a luxurious textile for more than five thousand years. Native silk fibroin (SF) films have excellent (ca. 90%) optical transparency and exhibit fluorescence under UV light. The silk dyeing process is very important and difficult, and methods such as pigmentary coloration and structural coloration have been tested for coloring silk fabrics. To functionalize silk that exhibits fluorescence, the in vivo and in vitro assembly of functional compounds with SF and the resulting amplification of fluorescence emission are examined. Finally, we discuss the applications of SF materials in basic optical elements, light energy conversion devices, photochemical reactions, sensing, and imaging. This review is expected to provide insight into the interaction between light and silk and to inspire researchers to develop silk materials with a consideration of history, material properties, and future prospects.

Abstract
Since it was first discovered, thousands of years ago, silkworm silk has been known to be an abundant biopolymer with a vast range of attractive properties. The utilization of silk fibroin (SF), the main protein of silkworm silk, has not been limited to the textile industry but has been further extended to various high-tech application areas, including biomaterials for drug delivery systems and tissue engineering. The outstanding mechanical properties of SF, including its facile processability, superior biocompatibility, controllable biodegradation, and versatile functionalization have allowed its use for innovative applications. In this review, we describe the structure, composition, general properties, and structure-properties relationship of SF. In addition, the methods used for the fabrication and modification of various materials are briefly addressed. Lastly, recent applications of SF-based materials for small molecule drug delivery, biological drug delivery, gene therapy, wound healing, and bone regeneration are reviewed and our perspectives on future development of these favorable materials are also shared.

Abstract
Spider silk is a natural material possessing unique properties such as biocompatibility, regenerative and antimicrobial activity, and biodegradability. It is broadly considered an attractive matrix for tissue regeneration applications. Optical monitoring and potential control over tissue regrowth are attractive tools for monitoring of this process. In this work, we show upconversion modification of natural spider silk fibers with inorganic nanoparticles. To achieve upconversion, metal oxide nanoparticles were doped with low concentrations of rare-earth elements, producing potentially biocompatible luminescent nanomaterials. The suggested approach to spider silk modification is efficient and easy to perform, opening up sensing and imaging possibilities of biomaterials in a noninvasive and real-time manner in bio-integration approaches.

Abstract
Silk is a natural fiber renowned for its outstanding mechanical properties that have enabled the manufacturing of ultralight and ultrastrong textiles. Recent advances in silk processing and manufacturing have underpinned a re-interpretation of silk from textiles to technological materials. Here, it is argued that silk materials-optimized by selective pressure to work in the environment at the biotic-abiotic interface-can be harnessed by human micro- and nanomanufacturing technology to impart new functionalities and opportunities. A critical overview of recent progress in silk technology is presented with emphasis on high-tech applications enabled by recent innovations in multilevel modifications, multiscale manufacturing, and multimodal characterization of silk materials. These advances have enabled successful demonstrations of silk materials across several disciplines, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, implantable medical devices, and biodissolvable/degradable devices.

Abstract
A membrane-based fluorescent sensing platform is a facile, point-of-care and promising technique in chemo/bio-analytical fields. However, the existing fluorescence sensing films for cancer biomarkers have several problems, with dissatisfactory sensitivity and selectivity, low utilization of probes encapsulated in films as well as the tedious design of membrane structures. In this work, a novel fluorescence sensing platform is fabricated by bio-grafting quantum dots (QDs) onto the surface of electrospun nanofibers (NFs). The aptamer integrated into the QDs/NFs can result in high specificity for recognizing and capturing biomarkers. Partially complementary DNA-attached gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are employed to efficiently hybridize with the remaining aptamer to quench the fluorescence of QDs by nanometal surface energy transfer (NSET) between them both, which are constructed for prostate specific antigen (PSA) assay. Taking advantage of the networked nanostructure of aptamer-QDs/NFs, the fluorescent film can detect PSA with high sensitivity and a detection limit of 0.46 pg mL-1, which was further applied in real clinical serum samples. Coupling the surface grafted techniques to the advanced network nanostructure of electrospun NFs, the proposed aptasensing platform can be easily extended to achieve sensitive and selective assays for other biomarkers.

Abstract
Polymers can be synthesized to recognize small molecules. This is achieved by introducing the target molecule during monomer self-assembly, where they can be incorporated during cross-linking polymerization. Following additional pre-processing, the material obtained can then be applied as a sensing layer for these molecules in many applications. The sensitivity of the polymers depends on the "active sites" imprinted on the surface. Increasing the number of active sites on the polymers surface can be achieved by using nanoparticles as a platform to support and concentrate the molecules for imprinting. In this work, we report the first use of dengue virus as a supporting nanoparticle to make for a more effective polymer composite sensor for the detection of bisphenol A (BPA), which is an environmental contaminant. The dengue virus has a nanoparticle size of around 100 nm and its surface provides regions where lipids and hydrophobic compounds can bind, making it an ideal support. The mixing of BPA with dengue prior to monomer self-assembly led to imprinted polymer surfaces with much higher density BPA binding sites and a limit of detection of 0.1 pm. We demonstrate that a BPA-dengue co-imprinting polymer composite sensor shows a very high sensitivity for BPA, but with lower production costs and technical requirements than other comparable methods.
