well its nice that an anonymous poster is so eager to confirm that kblb has everything they claim they have and can do all they claim they can do..unfortunately you are not a scientist working with spidersilk nor are you employed by kblb..you only know what you have read and what was whispered to you by the company...

An anonymous poster is so eager to discredit this company with zero basis, and attack one that has basis for his arguements......Again, the CEO is not the one reporting the properties of the breakthrough transgenics. When a scientist reports a silk tensile strength of 80 percent that of the nephila clavipes.......the silk is 80 percent of the nephila clavipes...i.e. right around 1 GPa, this is not a guess nor do I need to be an insider to know for sure or anything.

and yes, spidersilk exists...kim WAS holding something in his hand..but theres a whole lot more to this story than that...kblb is claiming to have a whole lot more of a product than what all the other companies have...he is claiming to be able to do a whole lot more with it than anyone else..and on the other hand he is still in the research and development stage..huh?

LMAO, and more to the story there is that you failed to see the rest of the story. KBLB again is not the one making claims, Dr Fraser did so ever so publicly on many occasions. YES kblb is still R&D, shows more ignorance......we have a marketable silk already developed, but must get to homozygosis to actually go commercial. Future developments have always been planned and future developments are needed to compete with Kevlar and other high performance textiles. The existing silks are not far off from Kevlar, so future developments are likely to meet and exceed. It is not a guarantee, but the scientists(not the ceo) are more than confident in this.

oh and dont bother him for public statements...even tho kblb is a public company that sells shares and has stockholders who want information that he is required to give, he wont..because thats his mindset?..lol

He will, and has, when he is ready he will again, which will be very soon. IF stockholders don't accept this fact, they should move on.

my guess is he will say something but it wont be what everyone was hoping for...and you will get a time frame for something big in the near future...just like the other scam stocks do..

What do you base what you think will come out off of.....nothing. I will already tell you some things I am rather certain of. Next generation of lab developments will likely be fully announced the 2nd half of this year in the same time frame will be the peer review. I don't predict a buyout to be announced this month. What is everyone hoping for btw?

So scientists have tried to pull spider silk from tobacco plants, bacteria and even goats, with mixed success. Silkworms, on the other hand, are natural silk-spinning factories. A worm’s silk gland takes up about a third of its entire body, Fraser said, and a single cocoon can yield a thread up to a mile long. Silkworms have been domesticated for centuries and are already used for making mass quantities of marketable silk.

We can now make proteins that have the properties of spider silks in a commercializable platform,” Fraser said. Fraser and his collaborators, including biochemist Randy Lewis of the University of Wyoming and Kim Thompson of Kraig Labs, presented the results in a press conference on the Notre Dame campus Sept. 29.

The resulting thread is actually a hybrid of specially engineered spider silk and natural silkworm silk. Even though they don’t use “straight-up spider silk” — which wouldn’t bond well with the silkworm proteins — the resulting strands are 80 percent as strong, Fraser said. The combination of their strength and flexibility, which materials scientists call toughness, approaches that of Kevlar.

Outside of the lab, the material could find any number of uses -- from athletic clothing to warfare.

"I see it going anywhere that's profitable," Fraser said with a laugh. "I particularly favor commercial uses such as ultrastrong lightweight fabric, structural fabric, bulletproof vests or medical uses."

Fraser says textiles made from worms that produce artificial spider silk could reach the market within a year -- but he's just getting started on his research.

"We see that there is plenty of room for improving on what we have done," said Fraser, who is already at work on "phase two transgenics" that he hopes will bolster the material's strength and flexibility.

"We know that what we have done is not nearly the full extent of what we're capable of doing."
