Manufacture and Drug Delivery Applications of Silk Nanoparticles

Thidarat Wongpinyochit¹, Blair F. Johnston¹, F. Philipp Seib¹

¹Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, University of Strathclyde

Nanoparticles are emerging as promising drug delivery systems for a broad range of indications. Here, we describe a simple yet powerful method to manufacture silk nanoparticles using reverse engineered Bombyx mori silk. These silk nanoparticles can be readily loaded with a therapeutic payload and subsequently explored for drug delivery applications.
