Behavior of a silkworm silk fiber web structure under wind load
… In particular, protein-based Bombyx mori silkworm silk's stiffness is originated from the crystalline region of the semi-crystalline fibroin and the extensibility from the length hidden within the amorphous region. The silk fiber is coated with sericin which acts as a glue connecting …

A Contravention of Established Principles of Interspecific Allometric Metabolic Scaling in Developing Silkworms, Bombyx Mori.
… for each distinct developmental stage of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. Whole animal O2 consumption in Bombyx ranged from 0.00064 + 0.000047 ml O2 .hr-1 at larval instar I to 0.77 + 0.06 ml O2 .hr-1 in pre-pupal, falling to 0.21+ 0.01 ml O2 .hr-1 in the pupae. Those instars having a significant …

The expression and regulation on antimicrobial peptide genes in insects: studies in the tobacco hornworm manduca sexta
… the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta and the silkworm Bombyx mori. One of the insect humoral responses is the induced production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). In D. melanogaster, bacterial peptidoglycan (PG) and fungal beta-1,3-glucan can induce AMP production by activating the Toll and …

Study of anti-cancer effect of winter worm and summer grass on Mcf-7 human breast cancer cells
… C. sinensis cultivated on an artificial host the silkworm Bombyx mori pupae, we have found that the C. militaris extract inhibited growth of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of the C. militaris extract on MCF-7 cells was via an apoptosis …

Outlining different perspectives for accurate MS-based proteomics in processed matrices - a case study on European feed control
… of a qualitative MS method for detecting silkworm protein in feed. Three silkworm-specific peptides were identified via bottom-up proteomics, antibodies produced and a targeted method with optional IAE developed. Method validation showed a limit of detection (LOD) ≤ 0.05% (w/w) in …

Direct-write assembly of 3D microperiodic scaffolds for tissue engineering applications
… a silk fibroin ink, regenerated from Bombyx mori silkworm cocoons, that can be induced to change conformation in a coagulating reservoir, and (3) a hydroxyapatite (HA) particle-filled silk fibroin ink. By carefully controlling their rheological properties, these both flow through nozzles without …

Light localization in biological media
… protein structures produced from Bombyx mori (silkworm) and layered aragonite structures produced from Haliotis fulgens (abalone). We demonstrate how optical transmission quantities (e.g. light flux in transmission channels) are analyzed satisfying critical values of the Anderson localization …

Understand The Structure-Water-Responsive Relationship by Engineering Silk Materials
… by engineering <em>Bombyx (B.) mori</em> silkworm silk protein. First, by increasing the silk’s mechanical stiffness as a result of increased silk II structures (β-sheet rich domains) or adding stiff silica nanoparticles, <em>B. mori</em> silk’s WR actuation energy density was dramatically …

Development of an artificial silk protein on the basis of a lacewing egg stalk protein
… and drape. Most commonly silk of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori (B. mori) is used in such applications, however, silks evolved independently in many different arthropods for various purposes.1 During evolution the different silks were optimised for their task-specific uses over millions of …

The Role of Maelstrom in the Drosophila piRNA Pathway
… Tejas, may be absent in other species like the silkworm, indicating functional divergence across species. This research has expanded our understanding of how small RNAs influence chromatin organisation for transposon silencing.

Qiaoxiang and managing overseas Chinese affairs in contemporary North China: The case of Changyi county and its sojourners
… area of jianchou (rough silk made by wild silkworm), Changyi sojourners began sell silk in Southeast Asia, the Peninsular India, the Korean Peninsula, and Tsarist Russia, starting during the time of the Qing dynasty. Many sojourners returned to their hometowns, while others were trapped …

Three cocluded insect viruses : a biophysical and biological study of the nuclear-polyhedrosis virus of Colias electo, the granulosis virus of Heliothis armigera and the nuclear-polyhedrosis virus of Heliothis zea
… of a native occult virus in the larvae of the silkworm, Bornbyx mori. In the context of the possible application of these infective agents to future methods of biological control of economically disastrous pests, these preliminary experiments were not unrewarding.

X-ray Spectroscopic Studies of Model Compounds With Relevance to Nickel Superoxide Dismutase, Nitrile Hydratase and Copper Related Neurodegenerative Disorders
… (protein tyrosine nitration). Lastly, spider and silkworm silk were investigated by designing peptide models and then incorporating Re into both our model system and native silks. By incorporating a metal center into silks the possibility for incorporating new properties into natural silks exists. …

Transcriptional Regulation of the BOMBYX MORI A3 Cytoplasmic Actin Promoter in Insect and Mammalian Cells
… this study we have analyzed the activity of the silkworm A3 cytoplasmic actin promoter in homologous insect and heterologous mammalian expression systems. To study the expression of the A3 actin promoter in insect cells we have isolated and characterized a stably transformed Bombyx mori cell line …
