      abstract = {This book is intended as a reference guide for graduate  students, postgraduate students and researchers with a  basic knowledge of protein chemistry who would like to know  more about the biomedical applications of natural proteins  to promote healthier lives. The book is divided into ten  chapters, each of which explains different natural proteins  and their established biomedical applications. The first  chapter extensively deals with protein based natural fibers  and provides an overview of all protein based fibers  currently available.℗ℓ In turn, chapter two mainly focuses  on the biomedical applications of a special class of  proteins called Heat Shock Proteins; the biomedical  applications of silkworm pupae proteins are dealt in  chapter three. Chapter four examines an interesting use of  Eri silk fibroin as a biomaterial for Tissue Engineering,  while chapter five discusses the key experimental details  involved in converting Tasar silk sericin into  self-assembled nanoparticles. Chapter six offers brief  descriptions of bioactive proteins with respect to their  sources, synthesis and applications. Chapter seven is  dedicated to Interleukine-8 and its role in human life,  while chapter eight addresses the importance of natural  proteins in infectious diseases. Chapter nine explores the  issue of excess intake of dietary proteins and its adverse  effects, and finally, chapter ten discusses the efficiency  of drug delivery systems made up of gelatin nanocomposites.  The book is above all intended as a valuable resource for  students and researchers alike, sparking their curiosity  with regard to the applications of natural proteins and  motivating them to focus their own energies on the  discovery or identification of additional natural proteins  for diverse biomedical uses.},
