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.

Proteins in the Cocoon of Silkworm Inhibit the Growth of Beauveria bassiana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Silk cocoons are composed of fiber proteins (fibroins) and adhesive glue proteins (sericins), which provide a physical barrier to protect the inside pupa.

Silk micrococoons for protein stabilisation and molecular encapsulation
Nature Communications, 2017 Silk fibres currently used in biotechnology are chemically reconstituted silk fibroins (RSF), which are more stable than native silk fibroin (NSF) but possess different biophysical properties.

Functionalization of silk fibroin through anionic fibroin derived polypeptides
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2016 While silk fibroin (SF)-based fibrous matrices are often considered as templates to mimic the native biomineralization process, their limited ability to induce apatite deposition hinders their potential applications in bone tissue engineering. In this study, it was hypothesized that the incorporation of anionic fibroin derived polypeptides (Cs ...

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.
