Silk Sericin Functionalized with Carboxy Drugs for Dermocosmetic Applications.

ACS applied bio materials · 2026

Silk sericin protein, a textile industry by-product showing no toxicity on oral/topical administration, has recently been exploited as a drug delivery system. The high serine content in sericin makes its functionalization through covalent ester-type bonds feasible; however, only in a few cases have covalent conjugates of sericin with the drug to be delivered been developed. In this paper, we… Read on PubMed →
