Explore the innovative use of silk in wound care through this TEDx talk by Vivek Mishra. Discover how silk fibroin, traditionally associated with luxury textiles, is being repurposed to accelerate wound healing, potentially reducing hospital burdens and increasing silk farmers' incomes. Learn about the circular economy built around silkworms and the groundbreaking work of Fibroheal Woundcare Pvt Ltd, the first Indian company to commercialize silk proteins for various types of wounds. Gain insights into the ongoing research in silk fibroin medical technologies and the potential impact on the biotech and life sciences sector. Note that this independently organized TEDx event presents cutting-edge ideas that are still subjects of ongoing study and development.
