The present study described a new method with one step to fabricate silk fibroin nano- and microspheres, with the size of spheres and crystalline structure being controllable during processing. Silk microspheres prepared in the presence of salts were less porous and more homogeneous in size than those prepared in the absence of salts (Control). These properties are important not only for the stabilization of particles but also for the controlled release of entrapped drug molecules.
