Potential of silk sericin based nanofibrous mats for wound dressing applications

Wound dressing developed using bioactive materials has been a current area of research for treating chronic non-healing wounds owing to its high demand. Here, we report the fabrication and evaluation of nanofibrous matrix based wound dressings using biopolymer poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) incorporated with silk sericin (SS). SS extracted from the cocoons of mulberry variety Bombyx mori and non-mulberry variety Antheraea assama has been used to...
