Abstract
with marginal immunogenicity of silk-based biomaterials may contribute to matrix remodeling and replacement by native tissue matrix around the implanted site. Therefore, immunomodulatory strategies should be developed to promote the use of silk-based biomaterials as promising candidates for numerous clinical applications.
