The new technology uses micron-sized silk fibers to reinforce a silk matrix, much as steel rebar reinforces concrete. It could improve the way bones and other tissues are repaired following accident or disease. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-04-high-strength-silk-scaffolds-bone.html Medical research Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:50:02 EST news255019420
