Artificial spider silk from trangenic silkworms

http://www.macroevolution.net/artificial-spider-silk.html



Scientists have succeded in producing a trangenic silkworm. This worm has made artificial spider silk. This has been an important goal in material science. Scientists have many biomedical applications that they want to do with this in the future. These silkworms that have been genetically engineered have solved the problem of large scale production of engineered protein fibers.

I think that this is a great accomplishment. I think that scientists should start applying this "invention" to their ideas. This could help a lot of different thinks. I also think that this will improve the environment. It could help with some of the problems our economy is having right now too.
