FibH Gene Complete Sequences (FibHome) Revealed Silkworm Pedigree

Insects, 2023
The highly repetitive and variable fibroin heavy chain (FibH) gene can be used as a silkworm identification; however, only a few complete FibH sequences are known. In this study, we extracted and examined 264 FibH gene complete sequences (FibHome) from a

Higher NO3−‐N Levels Under Mulberry (Morus alba L.) Planting Enhanced CAZyme Abundance, Increasing Soil Carbon Stability

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation is widely advocated for boosting carbon (C) sequestration. However, the stability of soil C pools in economically and culturally significant mulberry plantations remains poorly understood. The soil organic C (SOC) contents in different aggregates and the oxidizable OC fractions were measured.

Natural antibacterial silk produced by feeding silkworms with human hair derived carbon dots

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Blue‐fluorescent and antibacterial carbon dots, prepared from Crinis Carbonisatus (a traditional Chinese medicine made by calcinating human hair), are fed to silkworms to produce multifunctional silk, which retains its inherent mechanical properties, exhibits blue fluorescence, possesses antibacterial activity, and promotes the wound healing of rats as

Progress in bone tissue engineering biomaterials: Development, challenges, and prospects

VIEW, EarlyView.
Scheme 1 Application of biomaterials in immunomodulation during bone tissue engineering. Abstract Bone defect repair remains a major clinical challenge in orthopedics. Over 2 million cases caused by trauma, tumors, and other factors occur annually, with large‐scale defects posing a particular bottleneck due to limited self‐healing capacity.
