        abstract = {Spider silk is an extraordinary natural protein fiber recognized for its unique combination of high tensile strength, elasticity, toughness, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, making it a highly promising material across multiple scientific and engineering domains. Historically used for rudimentary medical applications, recent advances in biotechnological production (e.g., recombinant proteins) and material design have expanded its potential. This review synthesizes current research on spider silk applications in biomedical engineering, textiles, materials science, and emerging technologies, explores production approaches, and highlights challenges and future directions.},
