We are exploiting our indigenous bio material silk to develop various scaffolds for tissue engineering and medical applications. Our group fabricated silk based scaffolds for controlled release of curcumin which is a well-known anti-cancer agent. Silk based scaffolds also been shown for hepatic tissue engineering applications. Recently our group showed silk-GNP based neural guiding conduits could be a promising solution in neural tissue engineering.
