A process for producing non-woven silk fiber fabrics comprises the
following steps: a) obtaining silk fibroin, for example either from silk
cocoons, or silk textiles or waste silk; b) removing the sercin layer
covering the silk fibroin fibers, when present; c) breaking the disulfide
bonds between heavy (350 kDa) and light (27 kDa) chains of silk fibroin
in order to obtain the production of chain fragments which serve as a
specific cellular recognition sites promoting the attachment and growth
of cells, d) homogenising of the material resulting from step c).
