Abstract excerpt
A multilayered silk fibroin protein coating system was employed as a drug carrier and delivery system to evaluate vascular cell responses to heparin, paclitaxel, and clopidogrel. The results demonstrated that the silk coating system was an effective system for drug-eluting coatings, such as for stent applications, based on its useful micromechanical properties and biological outcomes. Cell attachment and...
