Unravelling the Secrets of Spider Silk: A Molecular Atlas of Spider Silk Production
A new study is set to revolutionize the way we understand spider silk production. Scientists from the University of Oxford have developed a molecular atlas that reveals the intricate process of how spiders produce their strong and resilient silk. This unprecedented level of detail has allowed the researchers to uncover the molecular basis of spider silk production, and to gain insights into how spiders can produce such high-performance materials.
