nsf.gov - Special Report - Science Nation: "Researchers are spinning spider silk from goats' milk
Spider silk and goat milk--what could possibly be the connection?
Let's start with the spiders.
Humans love spider webs, but aren't so crazy about their builders.
While spiders make some people flinch, there's no escaping the appreciation for their masterful web construction.
'There's a lot of interest in spider silk fibers because they're stronger than almost any other manmade fiber and they're also elastic,' says Randy Lewis, professor of molecular biology at the University of Wyoming in Laramie."
