Gene edited spider produces red silk

The world’s first gene-edited spider has been unveiled — and it produces red fluorescent silk.
Spider silk is one of the most fascinating fibres in the field of materials science.
The thread is extremely tear-resistant, while also being elastic, lightweight and biodegradable.
By influencing spider silk production in a living animal scientists could pave the way for the development of new silk for a wide range of applications.
A team at Germany’s University of Bayreuth used a gene-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9 which has revolutionised biology.
It can be used to target and cut specific locations in a living creature’s DNA strand..
The cell's natural repair mechanisms can then be used either to knock out a gene or insert a new one.
Senior author of the spider study Professor Dr. Thomas Scheibel and doctoral student Edgardo Santiago-Rivera developed an injection solution that included the components of the gene-editing system as well as a gene sequence for a red fluorescent protein.
This solution was injected into the eggs of unfertilised female house spirders, Parasteatoda tepidariorum, which were then mated with males of the same species.
The offspring of the gene-edited spiders showed red fluorescence in their dragline silk – clear evidence of the successful change of the gene sequence into a silk protein.
OPS:A common house spider (Parasteatoda tepidariorum) produced red fluorescent silk after being genetically edited

Des chercheurs ont créé un fil collant inspiré de la toile du héros de bande dessinée Spider-Man
Picture MUST credit: Tufts University/Marco Lo Presti A sticky thread inspired by comic book hero Spider-Man’s web, has been created by researchers. The material is fluid when shot from a needle and then almost immediately solidifies and is strong enough to adhere to and pick up heavy objects. The sticky fibres come from silk moth cocoons, which are broken down into their protein building blocks by boiling them in solution. The solution can then be extruded through narrow bore needles to form a stream that, thanks to the right additives, solidifies when it’s exposed to air. Moth silk has similar properties to spiders’ silk but with less structural complexity, and the raw materials are easier to come by. When tested, the extruded web string fibres were able to lift over 80 times their own weight. The researchers successfully picked up a steel bolt, a laboratory tube floating on water, a scalpel half-buried in sand, and a wood block all from from a distance of about 12 cm. The researchers from the USA’s Tufts University in Massachusetts, foresee a range of applications for the material including tissue engineering, drug delivery, biomaterials, and adhesives.

A sticky thread inspired by comic book hero Spider-Man’s web, has been created by researchers.
The material is fluid when shot from a needle and then almost immediately solidifies and is strong enough to adhere to and pick up heavy objects.
The sticky fibres come from silk moth cocoons, which are broken down into their protein building blocks by boiling them in solution.
The solution can then be extruded through narrow bore needles to form a stream that, thanks to the right additives, solidifies when it’s exposed to air.
Moth silk has similar properties to spiders’ silk but with less structural complexity, and the raw materials are easier to come by.
When tested, the extruded web string fibres were able to lift over 80 times their own weight.
The researchers successfully picked up a steel bolt, a laboratory tube floating on water, a scalpel half-buried in sand, and a wood block all from from a distance of about 12 cm.
The researchers from the USA’s Tufts University in Massachusetts, foresee a range of applications for the material including tissue engineering, drug delivery, biomaterials, and adhesives.

Scientists have genetically modified silkworms with spider genes to produce a super tough silk.
The silk produced is said to be six times tougher than the Kevlar used in bulletproof vests.
The team says the product has the potential to provide a sustainable and better-quality alternative to current synthetic fibres like nylon.
The initial plan is for the product to be used for surgical sutures.
Other uses include smart materials for the military, aerospace technology, biomedical engineering and garments.
Silk is the fibre silkworms use to build their cocoons and has been cultivated for thousands of years.
Although plentiful , the raw materialis brittle.
