It is also biocompatible; silk sutures have been traditionally used for many centuries. Recently, there has been much interest in making silk hydrogels for applications ranging from tissue engineering to controlled delivery. Fibroin gels can be formed from aqueous solutions by changing one or more state variables such as pH, temperature and ionic strength. In this work we present our investigations on the gelation of aqueous fibroin solutions derived from Bombyx Mori silk using light scattering, confocal microscopy and rheological techniques.</p>10adynamic light scattering10aRheology10asilk fibroin gel1 aNagarkara, Shailesh1 aLele, Ashish, K.1 aChassenieux, Christophe1 aNicolai, Taco1 aDurand, Dominique1 aCo, A.1 aLeal, L., G.1 aColby, R., H.1 aGiacomin, A., J.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/gelation-regenerated-fibroin-solution-1
