Silk fibroin is a natural protein derived from Bombyx mori cocoons, and shows potential in tissue repair applications due to its excellent biomedical properties. The silk fibroin film, developed by Xiaohui Zou, Hongwei Ouyang, and co‐workers from Zhejiang University in article number 1700121 , is a highly transparent, biocompatible, air‐permeable, waterproof and bacteria barrier scaffold. It significantly reduces the time to wound healing and incidence of adverse events compared to commercial dressing.
