Silk fibroin has the merits of biocompatibility, biodegradability, ease of processing, and feasibility of modification, which present it as a promising drug delivery material. This review focuses on the structures of silk fibroin, the controlled transformation of secondary structures, and the formation mechanism of silk fibroin-based nanoparticles (SFNPs). We also discuss the intrinsic multi-responsive, surface functionalization, and transgenic modification of SFNPs for drug delivery.
丝素蛋白具有生物相容性、生物可降解性、易于加工以及可修饰性等优点,使其成为一种很有前景的药物递送材料。本综述聚焦于丝素蛋白的结构、二级结构的可控转变以及丝素蛋白基纳米颗粒(SFNPs)的形成机制。我们还讨论了用于药物递送的SFNPs的固有多重响应性、表面功能化及转基因修饰。
