The eggshell membrane (ESM), resembling the extracellular matrix (ECM), acts as a protective barrier against bacterial invasion and offers various biofunctions due to its porous structure and protein-rich composition, such as ovalbumin, ovotransferrin, collagen, soluble protein, and antimicrobial proteins. However, the structure of ESM primarily comprises disulfide bonds and heterochains, which poses a challenge for protein solubilization/extraction. Therefore, the method of dissolving and extracting bioactive protein components from ESM has significant potential value and importance for exploring the reuse of egg waste and environmental protection.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study focused on creating chitosan/beta-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds coated with silk fibroin, which showed high porosity and interconnectivity, ideal for bone regeneration.
  • * Results indicated that these scaffolds not only supported cell growth for two weeks but also facilitated the formation of apatite crystals, especially when coated with silk, making them promising for bone tissue engineering.
