Key Points: 
  • ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) ("Kraig Labs" or "the Company"), comments on an exciting advancement in spider silk engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ("RPI").
  • Researchers at RPI published a paper in Microbial Cell Factories outlining a new and novel method of creating spider silk protein from waste plastics.
  • Kraig Labs' recombinant spider silk production model utilizes traditional silk production systems involving planting mulberry trees to harvest and feed the leaves to silkworms.
  • The Company's specialized silkworms have been scientifically enhanced through molecular biology to create recombinant spider silk cocoons that are reeled to produce spider silk yarns and fabrics.

Body armour made from silk is being developed – but this apparently cutting-edge idea is centuries old

The researchers modified the genes of silkworms to make them produce spider silk instead of their own silk.

Key Points: 
  • The researchers modified the genes of silkworms to make them produce spider silk instead of their own silk.
  • Harnessing the properties of spider silk has been a longstanding aim because the material is as strong as steel, yet also highly elastic.
  • However, the idea of using silk to make bulletproof vests is not a new idea.
  • Five years later, Dr Goodfellow published further observations in “Notes on the Impenetrability of Silk to Bullets” in a journal called The Southern California Practioneer.
  • Using Goodfellow’s findings, the Catholic priest Casimir Zeglen (1869–1927) would later invent a silk bulletproof vest.
  • But the potential for silk as ballistic body armour had been recognised more than two centuries earlier, by Leibniz.
  • Instead, he thought silk was the most promising material for a bulletproof fabric due to being lightweight, flexible, and strong.
  • His idea for silk bulletproof clothing therefore did not get off the drawing board.
