Abstract

Silk Sericin Protein Film Energy Harvester Silk sericin (SS), a key component of silk, envelops silk fibroin and provides protection and adhesion. In article number 2413610, Lin Wang, Zheng Wang, and co-workers explore and enhance the SS's piezoelectricity by structural modulation, creating an implantable and biodegradable SS-based energy harvester. This biocompatible device is capable of delivering pacing to restart a non-beating heart or normalize an atrioventricular block in a preclinical animal model.
