Spidroin, a spider web protein, for growing Heart Muscle
According to research published in Plos one on 10 April, 2015 by researchers for Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, protein from the spider web, commonly known as spidroin are proven to be the best substrate for growing heart muscle in laboratory. They got spidroin by using genetically modified yeast cells. These lab grown cardiac muscles are functioning like normal cardiac muscles.
