1. A composition comprising: (a) a fiber comprising “m” types of proteins of differing molecular weight, wherein each protein in said “m” proteins comprises, independently, “n” repeats of a repetitive sequence of a major ampullate spidroin (MaSp) protein, wherein m and n are, independently, an integer between 2 to 70, said protein are of differing molecular weight and a different number of said repetitive sequence, said repetitive sequence comprises an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1: (X1)ZX2GPGGYGPX3X4X5GPX6GX7GGX8GPGGPGX9X10, wherein X1 is, independently, at each instance A or G wherein at least 50% of (X1)Z is A, Z is an integer between 5 to 30; X2 is S or G; X3 is G or E; X4 is G, S or N; X5 is Q or Y; X6 is G or S; X7 is P or R; X8 is Y or Q; X9 is G or S; and X10 is S or G; and (b) a biocompatible material, cell culture media, cells, or any combination thereof.
