Abstract
Natural biomaterials, particularly fibrous proteins, are extensively utilized in skin tissue engineering. However, their application is impeded by batch-to-batch variance, limited chemical or physical versatility, and environmental concerns. Recent advancements in gene editing and fermentation technology have catalyzed the emergence of recombinant fibrous protein biomaterials, which are gaining traction in skin tissue engineering. The modular and highly customizable nature of recombinant synthesis enables precise control over biomaterial design, facilitating the incorporation of multiple functional motifs. Additionally, recombinant synthesis allows for a transition from animal-derived sources to microbial sources, thereby reducing endotoxin content and rendering recombinant fibrous protein biomaterials more amenable to scalable production and clinical use. In this review, we provide an overview of prevalent recombinant fibrous protein biomaterials (collagens, elastin, silk proteins and their chimeric derivatives) used in skin tissue engineering (STE) and compare them with their animal-derived counterparts. Furthermore, we discuss their applications in STE, along with the associated challenges and future prospects.

Abstract
Proteins implement many useful functions, including binding ligands with unparalleled affinity and specificity, catalyzing stereospecific chemical reactions, and directing cell behavior. Incorporating proteins into materials has the potential to imbue devices with these desirable traits. This review highlights recent advances in creating active materials by genetically fusing a self-assembling protein to a functional protein. These fusion proteins form materials while retaining the function of interest. Key advantages of this approach include elimination of a separate functionalization step during materials synthesis, uniform and dense coverage of the material by the functional protein, and stabilization of the functional protein. This review focuses on macroscale materials and discusses (i) multiple strategies for successful protein fusion design, (ii) successes and limitations of the protein fusion approach, (iii) engineering solutions to bypass any limitations, (iv) applications of protein fusion materials, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, enzyme immobilization, electronics, and biosensing, and (v) opportunities to further develop this useful technique.

Abstract
The improper and inadequate treatment of industrial, agricultural, and household wastewater exerts substantial pressure on the existing ecosystem and poses a serious threat to the health of both humans and animals. To address these issues, different types of materials have been employed to eradicate detrimental pollutants from wastewater and facilitate the reuse of water resources. Nevertheless, owing to the challenges associated with the degradation of these traditional materials post-use and their incompatibility with the environment, natural biopolymers have garnered considerable interest. Silk protein, as a biomacromolecule, exhibits advantageous characteristics including environmental friendliness, low carbon emissions, biodegradability, sustainability, and biocompatibility. Considering recent research findings, this comprehensive review outlines the structure and properties of silk proteins and offers a detailed overview of the manufacturing techniques employed in the production of silk-based materials (SBMs) spanning different forms. Furthermore, it conducts an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art SBMs for water treatment purposes, encompassing adsorption, catalysis, water disinfection, desalination, and biosensing. The review highlights the potential of SBMs in addressing the challenges of wastewater treatment and provides valuable insights into prospective avenues for further research.

Abstract
As noninvasive wearable electronic devices, epidermal sensors enable continuous, real-time, and remote monitoring of various human physiological parameters. Conductive biomaterials-based hydrogels as sensor matrix materials have good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and efficient stimulus response capabilities and are widely applied in motion monitoring, healthcare, and human-machine interaction. However, biomass hydrogel-based epidermal sensing devices still need excellent mechanical properties, prolonged stability, multifunctionality, and extensive practicality. Therefore, this paper reviews the common biomass hydrogel materials for epidermal sensing (proteins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, etc.) and the various types of noninvasive sensing devices (strain/pressure sensors, temperature sensors, glucose sensors, electrocardiograms, etc.). Moreover, this review focuses on the strategies of scholars to enhance sensor properties, such as strength, conductivity, stability, adhesion, and self-healing ability. This work will guide the preparation and optimization of high-performance biomaterials-based hydrogel epidermal sensors.

Abstract
Transgenic modification of Bombyx mori silkworms is a benign approach for the production of silk fibers with extraordinary properties and also to generate therapeutic proteins and other biomolecules for various applications. Silk fibers with fluorescence lasting more than a year, natural protein fibers with strength and toughness exceeding that of spider silk, proteins and therapeutic biomolecules with exceptional properties have been developed using transgenic technology. The transgenic modifications have been done primarily by modifying the silk sericin and fibroin genes and also the silk producing glands. Although the genetic modifications were typically performed using the sericin 1 and other genes, newer techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9 have enabled successful modifications of both the fibroin H-chain and L-chain. Such modifications have led to the production of therapeutic proteins and other biomolecules in reasonable quantities at affordable costs for tissue engineering and other medical applications. Transgenically modified silkworms also have distinct and long-lasting fluorescence useful for bioimaging applications. This review presents an overview of the transgenic techniques for modifications of B. mori silkworms and the properties obtained due to such modifications with particular focus on production of growth factors, fluorescent proteins, and high performance protein fibers.

P25 Gene Knockout Contributes to Human Epidermal Growth Factor Production in Transgenic Silkworms. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22052709.

Abstract
Transgenic silkworm expression systems have been applied for producing various recombinant proteins. Knocking out or downregulating an endogenous silk protein is considered a viable strategy for improving the ability of transgenic expression systems to produce exogenous proteins. Here, we report the expression of human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) in a P25 gene knockout silkworm. The hEGF gene regulated by the P25 gene promoter was integrated into a silkworm's genome. Five transgenic positive silkworm lineages were generated with different insertion sites on silkworm chromosomes and the ability to synthesize and secrete proteins into cocoons. Then, a cross-strategy was used to produce transgenic silkworms with a P25 gene knockout background. The results of the protein analysis showed that the loss of an endogenous P25 protein can increase the hEGF production to about 2.2-fold more than normal silkworms. Compared to those of transgenic silkworms with wild type (non-knockout) background, the morphology and secondary structure of cocoon silks were barely changed in transgenic silkworms with a P25 gene knockout background, indicating their similar physical properties of cocoon silks. In conclusion, P25 gene knockout silkworms may become an efficient bioreactor for the production of exogenous proteins and a promising tool for producing various protein-containing silk biomaterials.

Genetic bioengineering of overexpressed guanylate binding protein family BmAtlastin-n enhances silkworm resistance to Nosema bombycis. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 172:223-230.

Abstract
Microsporidia are obligate single-celled eukaryote parasites. Microsporidian infection can cause large economic losses to beneficial insects such as silkworms and honey bees. Identification of resistance biomacromolecules and breeding of transgenic lines resistant to the microsporidian Nosema bombycis are important for disease management. We previously used transcriptome analysis to identify a guanylate binding protein family BmAtlastin-n gene that was significantly upregulated after Nosema bombycis infection, and we determined that the molecule was highly expressed in resistance-related tissues such as the midgut, fat body and the epidermis. The transgenic silkworm line overexpressing BmAtlastin-n biomolecules had economic characters similar to those of non-transgenic lines. The transgenic OE-BmAtlastin-n lines had significantly improved survival after microspore infection. We used RT-PCR and H&E staining to show that the number of spores in the transgenic lines was significantly lower than in the control lines. In this study, we identified a BmAtlastin-n macromolecule with resistance to N. bombycis and developed a transgenic line. The results improved understanding of the GBP protein family and provided biomacromolecule material for the treatment and prevention of microsporidia.

Abstract
Silkworm silk has excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and promising applications in the biomedical sector. Silkworms spin silk at the beginning and end of each of their five instar stages, as well as spinning mature silk after the fifth instar. We evaluated the mechanical properties and structure of 10 kinds of silk fibers from different stages. A tensile test showed that instar beginning silk, instar end silk, and mature silk possess distinct properties. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction results showed that the excellent mechanical properties of instar end silk are attributed to higher β-sheet content and suitable crystallinity. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry showed that P25 protein content in IV-E silk is 2.9× higher than that of cocoon silk. This study can offer guidelines for further biomimetic investigations into the design and manufacture of artificial silk protein fibers with novel function.
