Compositions for forming a self-reinforcing composite biomatrix, methods of manufacture and use therefore are herein disclosed. The compositions comprise a first component and a second component of a two-component gelation system and a silk protein or a block copolymer thereof. Said two- component gel system can be made of synthetic polymers (such as a combination of PEG thiol, PEG NHS, PEG amine or PEG diacrylate) or of fibrin glue. The' compositions may further comprise cells and/or growth factors. |
