Scientists have had their eye on using spider silk for many
medical purposes. In some ways, they have already achieved greatness in this
field, but in many other areas scientists are racing against time to find a way
to utilize spider silk. For starters, scientists hope to use spider silk to
help fight cancer and to reproduce tissue; however humans lack the ability to
mimic the proteins needed to process the silk. Luckily, scientists recently
made a breakthrough that could allow spider silk to be used to help with many
ailments, corrective surgeries and new methods of delivering drugs.
