This book is a snapshot of the current state of the art of research
and development on the properties and characteristics of silk and
their use in medicine and industry. The field encompasses backyard
silk production from ancient time to industrial methods in the
modern era and includes an example of efforts to maintain silk
production on Madagascar. Once revered as worth its weight in gold,
silk has captured the imagination from its mythical origins
onwards. The latest methods in molecular biology have opened new
descriptions of the underlying properties of silk. Advances in
technological innovation have created silk production by microbes
as the latest breakthrough in the saga of silk research and
development. The application of silk to biomaterials is now very
active on the basis of excellent properties of silks including
recombinant silks for biomaterials and the accumulated structural
information.
