Abstract<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
The inventions provided herein relate to compositions, methods, delivery devices and kits for repairing or augmenting a tissue in a subject. The compositions described herein are injectable such that they can be placed in a tissue to be treated with a minimally-invasive procedure (e.g., by injection) and\/or be molded flexibly into a tissue void of any shape and\/or size. In some embodiments, the composition described herein comprises a plurality of silk fibroin particles, which can retain their original volume within the tissue for a period of time. The compositions can be used as a filler to replace a tissue void, e.g., for tissue repair and\/or augmentation, or as a scaffold to support tissue regeneration and\/or reconstruction. In some embodiments, the compositions described herein can be used for soft tissue repair or augmentation.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
