In present years’ researchers are interested in the fabrication of non-toxic hydrogels which can benefit the needs of mankind. Hydrogels are three dimensional structures which absorbs large quantity of water in it and which also imitates the ECM when injected into the body. In order to achieve that we fabricated a non-toxic silk fibroin hydrogel by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The biophysical characterization of the fabricated GARSF (Gluteraldehyde regenerated silk fibroin) hydrogel was done by SEM, FTIR-ATR. Swelling behavior, degradation studies and cytotoxicity studies suggests that the fabricated GARSF hydrogels as a good material for the cell growth and proliferation.
