Leucine-rich fibroin gene of the Japanese wild silkmoth, Rhodinia fugax (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2008 We cloned and characterized a partial fibroin gene of Rhodinia fugax (Saturniidae). The gene encodes a fibroin consisting mainly of orderly arranged repeats, each of which is divided into a polyalanine and a nonpolyalanine block, similar to the fibroins ...

Silk-inspired polymers and proteins [PDF]
, 2009 The biocompatibility and biodegradability of natural silk fibres and the benign conditions under which they (with impressive mechanical properties) are produced represent a biomimetic ideal. This ideal has inspired people in both academia and industry to

Preparation and characterization of silk fibroin as a biomaterial with potential for drug delivery
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2012 Background Degummed silk fibroin from Bombyx mori (silkworm) has potential carrier capabilities for drug delivery in humans; however, the processing methods have yet to be comparatively analyzed to determine the differential effects on the silk protein ...

Comparative proteome analysis of multi-layer cocoon of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Bombyx mori cocoon has a multi-layer structure that provides optimal protection for silkworm pupa. Research on the mechanical properties of the multi-layer structure revealed structure-property relationships of the cocoon.

The preparation of insoluble fibroin films induced by degummed fibroin or fibroin microspheres
Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 2004 Blending degummed fibroin (DF) or insoluble fibroin microspheres with concentrated fibroin solution, the insoluble films were obtained through drying the solution at 40-45 degrees C. The conformation of silk fibroin films was analyzed by infrared spectrum and X-ray diffractometry.

Fibroin and fibroin blended three-dimensional scaffolds for rat chondrocyte culture [PDF]
BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2013 Abstract Background In our previous study, we successfully developed 3-D scaffolds prepared from silk fibroin (SF), silk fibroin/collagen (SF/C) and silk fibroin/gelatin (SF/G) using a freeze drying technique. The blended construct showed superior mechanical properties to silk fibroin construct.
