Abstract in another language

Silks can be defined as secreted proteins spun into fibrous structures. Characteristically, silk proteins are produced in specialized glands and stored in a fluid state in the lumen of the gland. As the fluid passes through the spinning duct, a rapid transformation to the solid state takes place and the silk becomes water-insoluble. Silk fibers are diverse in function, depending on the biological source, such as spiders or silkworms. The article describes the recent remarkable progress in understanding silk genetics, structures and biophysics, as well as the recombinant production of silk proteins
