Abstract

Silk Hydrogels The image represents the dynamic nature of photo-crosslinked silk hydrogels. Spheres represent self-assembled protein structures, while the illuminated area shows covalent bonds formed under visible light. This study explores the interplay between self-assembly and di-tyrosine bond formation, highlighting potential biomedical applications. More in article number 2407923, Khoon S.
