　　When you walk through a spider web, you'reprobably more concern about whether anything wason it, at the time, then you are impressed by therelative strength of the structure.

　　But a professor at Oxford University believes thatspider silk may help in fixing damage nerves inhumans and regenerating joints.

　　For this professor, the webs hold hope for a new silk age with advances in science and medicine.

　　I'm Fritz Volltrath.

　　I work on spiders and spider webs and spider silks and on silkworm silks.

　　Spider webs are really, really interesting structure.

　　For a human comparison, it would be like if you could make a net the size of a football field, willyou sit in the center and the next could catch the equivalent of the jumbo jet.

　　That is pretty amazing.

　　The question is, can we use these silks, whether they're from spider or silkworm, to help inregenerative medicine.

　　There's a lot of interest in the medical community in silks as a potential culture, growingreplacement body parts potentially like ears in the way they use in collagen, may be for 3Dprinting things.

　　We can fix a nerve that's been crashed.
