The use of edible insects in human food
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Immune responses to bacterial and fungal infections in the silkworm, Bombyx mori
Developmental and Comparative Immunology, 2017 The silkworm Bombyx mori, an economically important insect that is usually reared indoors, is susceptible to various pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and microsporidia. As with other insects, the silkworm lacks an adaptive immune system and

Shape‐Memory Collagen/Silk‐Fibroin Scaffold for Dura Sealing and Skull Base Regeneration
Small, EarlyView.ABSTRACT When a skull base defect occurs, reconstruction is typically performed using a variety of autologous grafts, flaps, or synthetic materials. Failure to achieve appropriate management and closure can lead to serious consequences, such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and subsequent meningitis.
