Tough and Temperature‐Resistant Material Based on Bombyx mori Silk Fibroin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We propose a biomimetic “Hydration‐Crystallization Locking” (HCL) strategy inspired by Bombyx mori spinning to enhance silk fibroin (SF) performance in extreme temperatures. A flexible fibroin membrane (FFM) shows high strength, toughness, and shape retention under −196°C and 70°C.

Integrated qPCR and Staining Methods for Detection and Quantification of Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei in Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Microorganisms, 2020
Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is an obligate, intracellular, spore-forming parasite, which mainly infects the gastrointestinal tract of shrimp. It significantly hinders the growth of shrimp, which causes substantial economic losses in farming.

The Effect of Silk on the Stabilization of Labile Enzyme Lipoxygenase

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Entrapping lipoxygenase within silk significantly extended its stability from under 24 h to 10 days. Variations in silk molecular weight and freeze‐drying conditions influenced silk properties and enzyme interactions. This stabilization is leveraged to develop a linoleic acid electrochemical biosensor, integrating lipoxygenase with horseradish ...
