THIS IS A MAJOR ARTICLE ON MEDICAL AND ELECTRONICS APPLICATIONS OF SILK, ESPECIALLY SPIDER SILK.

A few quotes:

"It elicits no immune reaction in our bodies"

"Stem cells are happy to grow around spider silk, so a silk sponge could in theory be used as a scaffold to help mend broken bones or torn muscles."

"Silk films offer a much more useful surface on which to embed electronics than traditional silicon wafers"

"Last year, they demonstrated that silk could be used to deliver ultra-thin electronics directly onto the surface of the brain"
