Abstract
Lack of horizontal and vertical bone at the site of an implant can lead to significant clinical problems that need to be addressed before implant treatment can take place. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a commonly used surgical procedure that employs a barrier membrane to encourage the growth of new bone tissue in areas where bone has been lost due to injury or disease. It is a promising approach to achieve desired repair in bone tissue and is widely accepted and used in approximately 40% of patients with bone defects. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive examination of recent advances in resorbable membranes for GBR including natural materials such as chitosan, collagen, silk fibroin, along with synthetic materials such as polyglycolic acid (PGA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and their copolymers. In addition, the properties of these materials including foreign body reaction, mechanical stability, antibacterial property, and growth factor delivery performance will be compared and discussed. Finally, future directions for resorbable membrane development and potential clinical applications will be highlighted.

Structural Characteristics and Properties of Cocoon and Regenerated Silk Fibroin from Different Silkworm Strains. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054965. [PMID: 36902396 PMCID: PMC10003124 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24054965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Silk has attracted the attention of researchers as a biomedical and cosmetic material because of its good biocompatibility and cytocompatibility. Silk is produced from the cocoons of silkworms, which have various strains. In this study, silkworm cocoons and silk fibroins (SFs) were obtained from ten silkworm strains, and their structural characteristics and properties were examined. The morphological structure of the cocoons depended on the silkworm strains. The degumming ratio of silk ranged from 22.8% to 28% depending on the silkworm strains. The highest and lowest solution viscosities of SF were shown by 9671 and 9153, respectively, showing a 12-fold difference. The silkworm strains of 9671, KJ5, and I-NOVI showed a two-fold higher work of ruptures for the regenerated SF film than 181 and 2203, indicating that the silkworm strains considerably influence the mechanical properties of the regenerated SF film. Regardless of the silkworm strain, all silkworm cocoons showed good cell viability, making them suitable candidates for advanced functional biomaterials.

Recent Advances in Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Asymmetric Membranes/Composites for Biomedical Applications. Symmetry (Basel) 2023.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of porous crystalline materials composed of metal and organic material. MOFs have fascinating properties, such as fine tunability, large specific surface area, and high porosity. MOFs are widely used for environmental protection, biosensors, regenerative medicine, medical engineering, cell therapy, catalysts, and drug delivery. Recent studies have reported various significant properties of MOFs for biomedical applications, such as drug detection and delivery. In contrast, MOFs have limitations such as low stability and low specificity in binding to the target. MOF-based membranes improve the stability and specificity of conventional MOFs by increasing the surface area and developing the possibility of MOF-ligand binding, while conjugated membranes dramatically increase the area of active functional groups. This special property makes them attractive for drug and biosensor fabrication, as both the spreading and solubility components of the porosity can be changed. Asymmetric membranes are a structure with high potential in the biomedical field, due to the different characteristics on its two surfaces, the possibility of adjusting various properties such as the size of porosity, transfer rate and selectivity, and surface properties such as hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity. MOF assisted asymmetric membranes can provide a platform with different properties and characteristics in the biomedical field. The latest version of MOF materials/membranes has several potential applications, especially in medical engineering, cell therapy, drug delivery, and regenerative medicine, which will be discussed in this review, along with their advantages, disadvantages, and challenges.

Abstract
Implant-related infection is one of the main challenges in periodontal diseases. According to the zwitterionic properties of keratin, we aim to develop guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane with antibacterial and bioactivity properties using a keratin coating. In this study, electrospun silk fibroin (SF)-Laponite (LAP) fibrous membranes were developed as GBR membranes, and keratin extracted from sheep wool was electrosprayed on them. Here, the role of electrospraying time (2, 3, and 4h) on the properties of the GBR membranes was investigated. After physicochemical characterization of the keratin-modified membranes, in vitro bioactivity and degradation rate of the membranes were studied in simulated body fluid and phosphate buffer saline, respectively. Moreover, proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells were evaluated in contact with the keratin-modified SF-LAP membrane. Finally, the antibacterial activity of membranes against gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) was investigated. Results demonstrated the successful formation of homogeneous wool keratin coating on SF-LAP fibrous membranes using a simple electrospray process. While wool keratin coating significantly enhanced the elongation and hydrophilicity of the SF-LAP membrane, the mechanical strength was not changed. In addition, keratin coating significantly improved the bioactivity and degradation rate of SF-LAP membranes, owing to the carboxyl groups of amino acids in keratin coating. In addition, the synergic role of LAP nanoparticles and keratin coating drastically improved osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Finally, the zwitterionic property of wool keratin coating originating from their equal positive (NH3 + ) and negative (COO- ) charges considerably improved the antibacterial activity of the SF-LAP membrane. Overall, keratin-coated SF-LAP fibrous membranes with significant mechanical and biological properties could have the potential for GBR membranes.

Abstract
Due to their commendable biocompatibility, regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) films have attracted considerable research interest. However, the poor mechanical properties of RSF films have limited their use in various biomedical applications. In this study, a novel, highly crystalline silk fibril was successfully extracted from silk by combining degumming with ultrasonication. Ultrasonication accelerated the development of silk nanofibrils measuring 130–200 nm on the surface of the over-degummed silk fibers, which was confirmed via scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, the crystallinity index of silk fibril was found to be significantly higher (~68%) than that of conventionally degummed silk (~54%), as confirmed by the Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy results. Furthermore, the breaking strength and elongation of the RSF film were increased 1.6 fold and 3.4 fold, respectively, following the addition of 15% silk nanofibrils. Thus, the mechanical properties of the RSF film were remarkably improved by the addition of the silk nanofibrils, implying that it can be used as an excellent reinforcing material for RSF films.

Abstract
Copper (Cu)-loaded electrospun membranes were tailored for guided bone regeneration (GBR), targeting the stimulation of innate cells active in bone growth and the prevention of bacterial infections. Functional GBR membranes were produced via an electrospinning set-up using a silk-based solution associated with polyethylene oxide (Silk/PEO - control). Experimental groups were loaded with copper oxide using varying weight percentages (0.05 % to 1 % of CuO). The morphological, structural, chemical, and mechanical properties of membranes were evaluated. Direct and indirect in vitro cytocompatibility experiments were performed with primary human bone mesenchymal stem cells and primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The antibacterial potential of membranes was tested with Staphylococcus aureus and Fusobacterium nucleatum biofilm. CuO was successfully incorporated into membranes as clusters without compromising their mechanical properties for clinical applicability. Increased Cu concentrations generated membranes with thinner nanofibers, greater pore areas, and stronger antimicrobial effect (p < 0.01). Cu2+ ion was released from the nanofiber membranes during 1 week, showing higher release in acidic conditions. CuO 0.1 % and CuO 0.05 % membranes were able to support and stimulate cell adhesion and proliferation (p < 0.05), and favor angiogenic responses of vascular cells. In addition, detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis determined that amount of the attached biofilm was reduced on the tailored functional Cu2+-loaded GBR membrane. Importantly, these qualities represent a valuable strategy to improve the bone regeneration process and diminish the risk of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Inspired by the composition and confined environment provided by collagen fibrils during bone formation, this study aimed to compare two different strategies to synthesize bioactive hybrid membranes and to assess the role the organic matrix plays as physical confinement during mineral phase deposition. The hybrid membranes were prepared by (1) incorporating calcium phosphate in a biopolymeric membrane for in situ hydroxyapatite (HAp) precipitation in the interstices of the biopolymeric membrane as a confined environment (Methodology 1) or (2) adding synthetic HAp nanoparticles (SHAp) to the freshly prepared biopolymeric membrane (Methodology 2). The biopolymeric membranes were based on hydrolyzed collagen (HC) and chitosan (Cht) or κ-carrageenan (κ-carr). The hybrid membranes presented homogeneous and continuous dispersion of the mineral particles embedded in the biopolymeric membrane interstices and enhanced mechanical properties. The importance of the confined spaces in biomineralization was confirmed by controlled biomimetic HAp precipitation via Methodology 1. HAp precipitation after immersion in simulated body fluid attested that the hybrid membranes were bioactive. Hybrid membranes containing Cht were not toxic to the osteoblasts. Hybrid membranes added with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) displayed antibacterial action against different clinically important pathogenic microorganisms. Overall, these results open simple and promising pathways to develop a new generation of bioactive hybrid membranes with controllable degradation rates and antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
Biopolymer nanofiber membranes are attracting interest as promising biomaterial scaffolds with a remarkable range of structural and functional performances for guided bone regeneration (GBR). In this study, tussah silk nanofiber (TSn) and Bombyx mori silk nanofiber (BSn) membranes were prepared by physical shearing. The diameters of the TSn and BSn membranes were 146.09 ± 63.56 and 120.99 ± 91.32 nm, respectively. TSn showed a Young's modulus of 3.61 ± 0.64 GPa and a tensile strength of 74.27 ± 5.19 MPa, which were superior to those of BSn, with a Young's modulus of 0.16 ± 0.03 GPa and a tensile strength of 4.86 ± 0.61 MPa. The potential of TSn and BSn membranes to guide bone regeneration was explored. In vitro, the TSn membrane exhibited significantly higher cell proliferation for MC3T3-E1 cells than the BSn membrane. In a cranial bone defect in a rat model, the TSn and BSn membranes displayed superior bone regeneration compared to the control because the membrane prevented the ingrowth of soft tissue to the defective area. Compared to the BSn membrane, the TSn membrane improved damaged bone regeneration, presumably due to its superior mechanical properties, high osteoconductivity, and increased cell proliferation. The TSn membrane has a bionic structure, excellent mechanical properties, and greater biocompatibility, making it an ideal candidate for GBR.

Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) are two common dental regenerative treatments targeted at reconstructing damaged periodontal tissue and bone caused by periodontitis. During GTR/GBR treatment, a barrier membrane is placed in the interface between the soft tissue and the periodontal defect to inhibit soft tissue ingrowth and creating a space for the infiltration of slow-growing bone cells into the defect site. Recently, asymmetric resorbable-based barrier membrane has received a considerable attention as a new generation of GTR/GBR membrane. Despite numerous literatures about asymmetric-based membrane that had been published, there is lacks comprehensive review on asymmetric barrier membrane that particularly highlight the importance of membrane structure for periodontal regeneration. In this review, we systematically cover the latest development and advancement of various kinds of asymmetric barrier membranes used in periodontal GTR/GBR application. Herein, the ideal requirements for constructing a barrier membrane as well as the rationale behind the asymmetric design, are firstly presented. Various innovative methods used in fabricating asymmetric barrier membrane are being further discussed. Subsequently, the application and evaluation of various types of asymmetric barrier membrane used for GTR/GBR are compiled and extensively reviewed based on the recent literatures reported. Based on the existing gap in this field, the future research directions of asymmetric resorbable-based barrier membrane such as its combination potential with bone grafts, are also presented.

Abstract
There is an enormous demand for bone graft biomaterials to treat developmental and acquired bony defects arising from infections, trauma, tumor, and other conditions. Polycaprolactone (PCL) has been extensively utilized for bone tissue engineering but limited cellular interaction and tissue integration are the primary concerns. PCL-based composites with different biomaterials have been attempted to improve the mechanical and biological response. Interestingly, a few studies have tried to blend PCL with aqueous silk fibroin solution, but the structures prepared with the blend were mechanically weak due to phase mismatch. As a result, silk microparticle-based PCL composites have been prepared, but the microfibers-reinforced composites could be superior to them due to significant fiber-matrix interaction. This study aims at developing a unique composite by incorporating 100-150 μm long (aspect ratio; 8:1-5:1) silk-fibroin microfibers into the PCL matrix for superior biological and mechanical properties. Two silk variants were used, that is, Bombyx mori and a wild variant, Antheraea mylitta, reported to have cell recognizable Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic acid (RGD) sequences. A. mylitta silk fibroin microfibers were produced, and composites were made with PCL for the first time. The morphological, tensile, thermal, biodegradation, and biological properties of the composites were evaluated. Importantly, we tried to optimize the silk concentration within the composite to strike a balance among the cellular response, biodegradation, and mechanical strength of the composites. The results indicate that the PCL-silk fibroin microfiber composite could be an efficient biomaterial for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) became common procedures in the corrective phase of periodontal treatment. In order to obtain good quality tissue neo-formation, most techniques require the use of a membrane that will act as a barrier, having as a main purpose the blocking of cell invasion from the gingival epithelium and connective tissue into the newly formed bone structure. Different techniques and materials have been developed, aiming to obtain the perfect barrier membrane. The membranes can be divided according to the biodegradability of the base material into absorbable membranes and non-absorbable membranes. The use of absorbable membranes is extremely widespread due to their advantages, but in clinical situations of significant tissue loss, the use of non-absorbable membranes is often still preferred. This descriptive review presents a synthesis of the types of barrier membranes available and their characteristics, as well as future trends in the development of barrier membranes along with some allergological aspects of membrane use.

Abstract
An alveolar cleft is a critical tissue defect often treated with surgery. In this research, the mimicked periosteum layer based on deposited silk fibroin membrane was fabricated for guided bone regeneration in alveolar cleft surgery. The deposited silk fibroin particle membranes were fabricated by spray-drying with different concentrations of silk fibroin (v/v): 0.5% silk fibroin (0.5% SFM), 1% silk fibroin (1% SFM), 2% silk fibroin (2% SFM), and 1% silk fibroin film (1% SFF) as the control. The membranes were then characterized and the molecular organization, structure, and morphology were observed with FT-IR, DSC, and SEM. Their physical properties, mechanical properties, swelling, and degradation were tested. The membranes were cultured with osteoblast cells and their biological performance, cell viability and proliferation, total protein, ALP activity, and calcium deposition were evaluated. The results demonstrated that the membranes showed molecular transformation of random coils to beta sheets and stable structures. The membranes had a porous layer. Furthermore, they had more stress and strain, swelling, and degradation than the film. They had more unique cell viability and proliferation, total protein, ALP activity, calcium deposition than the film. The results of the study indicated that 1% SFM is promising for guided bone regeneration for alveolar cleft surgery.

Abstract
For years, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy have been the gold standards to treat cancer, although continuing research has sought a more effective approach. While advances can be seen in the development of anticancer drugs, the tools that can improve their delivery remain a challenge. As anticancer drugs can affect the entire body, the control of their distribution is desirable to prevent systemic toxicity. The application of a suitable drug delivery platform may resolve this problem. Among other materials, silks offer many advantageous properties, including biodegradability, biocompatibility, and the possibility of obtaining a variety of morphological structures. These characteristics allow the exploration of silk for biomedical applications and as a platform for drug delivery. We have reviewed silk structures that can be used for local and systemic drug delivery for use in cancer therapy. After a short description of the most studied silks, we discuss the advantages of using silk for drug delivery. The tables summarize the descriptions of silk structures for the local and systemic transport of anticancer drugs. The most popular techniques for silk particle preparation are presented. Further prospects for using silk as a drug carrier are considered. The application of various silk biomaterials can improve cancer treatment by the controllable delivery of chemotherapeutics, immunotherapeutics, photosensitizers, hormones, nucleotherapeutics, targeted therapeutics (e.g., kinase inhibitors), and inorganic nanoparticles, among others.

Abstract
After tooth loss, bone resorption is irreversible, leaving the area without adequate bone volume for successful implant treatment. Bone grafting is the only solution to reverse dental bone loss and is a well-accepted procedure required in one in every four dental implants. Research and development in materials, design and fabrication technologies have expanded over the years to achieve successful and long-lasting dental implants for tooth substitution. This review will critically present the various dental bone graft and substitute materials that have been used to achieve a successful dental implant. The article also reviews the properties of dental bone grafts and various dental bone substitutes that have been studied or are currently available commercially. The various classifications of bone grafts and substitutes, including natural and synthetic materials, are critically presented, and available commercial products in each category are discussed. Different bone substitute materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers, or their combinations, and their chemical, physical, and biocompatibility properties are explored. Limitations of the available materials are presented, and areas which require further research and development are highlighted. Tissue engineering hybrid constructions with enhanced bone regeneration ability, such as cell-based or growth factor-based bone substitutes, are discussed as an emerging area of development.

Abstract
The goal of a biomaterial is to support the bone tissue regeneration process at the defect site and eventually degrade in situ and get replaced with the newly generated bone tissue. Biomaterials that enhance bone regeneration have a wealth of potential clinical applications from the treatment of non-union fractures to spinal fusion. The use of bone regenerative biomaterials from bioceramics and polymeric components to support bone cell and tissue growth is a longstanding area of interest. Recently, various forms of bone repair materials such as hydrogel, nanofiber scaffolds, and 3D printing composite scaffolds are emerging. Current challenges include the engineering of biomaterials that can match both the mechanical and biological context of bone tissue matrix and support the vascularization of large tissue constructs. Biomaterials with new levels of biofunctionality that attempt to recreate nanoscale topographical, biofactor, and gene delivery cues from the extracellular environment are emerging as interesting candidate bone regenerative biomaterials. This review has been sculptured around a case-by-case basis of current research that is being undertaken in the field of bone regeneration engineering. We will highlight the current progress in the development of physicochemical properties and applications of bone defect repair materials and their perspectives in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Silk fibroin (SF) protein is versatile for the application of biomaterials due to its excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, the efficient way to fabricate SF membranes with special structure is still challenging. Here, we develop an efficient and simple way to create SF membranes on the liquid (i.e. subphase) surface. It is essential to prepare highly concentrated SF solution with low surface tension by dissolving the degummed SF powders in 6% (w/v) LiBr/methanol solution by one step. 95 wt% polyethylene glycol (PEG) 200 and 30 wt% (NH4)2SO4 are the subphases, on which the SF solution spreads quickly, generating nonporous and microporous SF membranes (SFM-1 and SFM-2), respectively. PEG 200 causes more ordered molecular packing (β-sheets) in SFM-1. While Fast diffusion and denaturation of SF on (NH4)2SO4 solution lead to the formation of microporous, water-unstable membrane SFM-2. Both membranes have good transparency, hydrophilicty, and mechanical properties. To fabricate antibacterial biomaterials, we design a composite membrane by SFM-1 and SFM-2 sandwiching a layer of hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride chitosan (HACC) to provide antibacterial functions. The sandwich membrane has good cell viability and antibacterial properties, showing potential use for biomedical materials.

Abstract
Silk refers to a family of natural fibers spun by several species of invertebrates such as spiders and silkworms. In particular, silkworm silk, the silk spun by Bombyx mori larvae, has been primarily used in the textile industry and in clinical settings as a main component of sutures for tissue repairing and wound ligation. The biocompatibility, remarkable mechanical performance, controllable degradation, and the possibility of producing silk-based materials in several formats, have laid the basic principles that have triggered and extended the use of this material in regenerative medicine. The field of neural soft tissue engineering is not an exception, as it has taken advantage of the properties of silk to promote neuronal growth and nerve guidance. In addition, silk has notable intrinsic properties and the by-products derived from its degradation show anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Finally, this material can be employed for the controlled release of factors and drugs, as well as for the encapsulation and implantation of exogenous stem and progenitor cells with therapeutic capacity. In this article, we review the state of the art on manufacturing methodologies and properties of fiber-based and non-fiber-based formats, as well as the application of silk-based biomaterials to neuroprotect and regenerate the damaged nervous system. We review previous studies that strategically have used silk to enhance therapeutics dealing with highly prevalent central and peripheral disorders such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and peripheral trauma. Finally, we discuss previous research focused on the modification of this biomaterial, through biofunctionalization techniques and/or the creation of novel composite formulations, that aim to transform silk, beyond its natural performance, into more efficient silk-based-polymers towards the clinical arena of neuroprotection and regeneration in nervous system diseases.

Abstract
We characterised fibres and papers of microfibrillated silk from Bombyx mori produced by mechanical and enzymatic process. Milling increased the specific surface area of fibres from 1.5 to 8.5 m2/g and that enzymatic pre-treatment increased it further to 16.5 m2/g. These fibrils produced a uniform, significantly strong (tenacity 55 Nm/g) and stiff (Young's modulus > 2 GPa) papers. Enzymatic pre-treatment did not reduce molecular weight and tensile strength of papers but significantly improved fibrillation. Silk remained highly crystalline throughout the fibrillation process. Protease biodegradation was more rapid after fibrillation. Biodegradation was impacted by structural change due to enzymatic pre-treatment during the fibrillation. Biodegraded silk had much higher thermal degradation temperature. The unique combination of high strength, slow yet predicable degradation and controllable wicking properties make the materials ideally suited to biomedical and healthcare applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Dental implant treatment requires an available bone volume in the implantation site to ensure the implant’s mechanical stability. When the bone volume is insufficient, one must resort to surgical means such as guided bone regeneration (GBR). In GBR surgery, bone grafts and membranes are used. The objective of this work is to manufacture and characterize the in vitro and in vivo properties of resorbable collagen type I membranes (Green Membrane®) for GBR. Membrane surface morphology was characterized by SEM and roughness was measured using an interferometric noncontact 3D system. In vivo skin sensitization and toxicity tests have been performed on Wistar rats. Bone defects were prepared in 24 adult male rats, filled with biomaterials (Blue Bone® and Bio Oss®) and covered with collagen membranes to maintain the mechanical stability of the site for bone regeneration. The incisions were closed with simple stitches; and 60 days after the surgery, the animals were euthanized. Results showed that the analyzed membrane was homogeneous, with collagen fiber webs and open pores. It had no sign of cytotoxicity and the cells at the insertion site showed no bone morphological changes. There was no tissue reaction and no statistical difference between Blue Bone® and Bio Oss® groups. The proposed membrane has no cytotoxicity and displays a biocompatibility profile that makes it suitable for GBR.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are in situ synthesized for the first time on microfibrillated silk (MFS) exfoliated from domesticated Philosamia cynthia ricini (eri) and Bombyx mori (mulberry) silkworm silk fibers. The process is rapid (hours time), does not rely on harmful chemicals, and produces robust and flexible AgNPs coated MFS (MFS-AgNPs) protein papers with excellent handling properties. None of these can be achieved by approaches used in the past to fabricate AgNPs silk systems. MFS bonds the AgNPs strongly, providing good support and stabilization for the NPs, leading to strong wash fastness. The mechanical properties of the MFS-AgNPs papers largely do not change compared to the MFS papers without nanoparticles, except for some higher concentration of AgNPs in the case of mulberry silk. The improved tensile properties of eri silk papers with or without AgNPs compared to mulberry silk papers can be attributed to the higher degree of fibrillation achieved in eri silk and its inherent higher ductility. MFS-AgNPs from eri silk also exhibit strong antibacterial activity. This study provides the basis for the development of smart protein papers based on silk fiber and functional nanomaterials.

Abstract
Constructing bioactive guided bone regeneration (GBR) membranes that possess biological multifunctionality is becoming increasingly attractive and promising to meet higher requirements for bone healing. Given the biological responses following implantation, GBR process originates from an early inflammation-driven reaction adjacent to implanted membranes surface. However, to date there is relatively little attention paid to the critical immunoregulatory functions in traditionally designed GBR membranes. Herein, for the first time, we manipulate immunomodulatory properties of the widely-used native small intestinal submucosa (SIS) membrane by incorporating strontium-substituted nanohydroxyapatite coatings and/or IFN-γ to its surface. In vitro results reveal the obtained novel membrane SIS/SrHA/IFN-γ not only promote functions of endothelial cells and osteoblasts directly, but also energetically mediate a sequential M1-M2 macrophages transition to concurrently facilitate angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Moreover, in vivo outcomes of subcutaneous implantation and cranial defects repair further confirm its superior capacity to promote vascularization and in situ bone regeneration than pristine SIS through immunomodulation. These results demonstrate a sequential immunomodulatory strategy renders modified SIS membranes acting as a robust immunomodulator rather than a traditional barrier to significantly ameliorate in vivo GBR outcomes and hence provide important implications that may facilitate concerns on immunomodulatory properties for future GBR developments.

Abstract
Sericin is a 10-to-400 kDa hydrophilic protein with high serine content and is a silk constituent together with fibroin. It is produced in the middle silk gland of the silkworm and encoded by four sericin genes. The molecular weight of sericin and its biological activity vary depending on the extraction method employed. Its chemical structure, in terms of random coil and β-sheet conformations, also differs with the extraction method, thereby extending its applications in various fields. Sericin, which was discarded in the textile industry in the past, is being applied and developed in the biomedical field, owing to its biological properties. In particular, many studies are underway in the field of tissue engineering, evaluating its applicability in burn dressing, drug delivery, bone regeneration, cartilage regeneration, and nerve regeneration.
