Impact of different silkworm dietary supplements on its silk performance
(Springer, 2014-09-01)
This study aims to evaluate the effect of silkworm larva (Bombyx mori) diet supplementation with two amino acids (threonine and valine) on the cocoon production and on the structural and mechanical properties of the silk ...
Silk formation mechanisms in the larval salivary glands of Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera : Apidae)
(Indian Academy Sciences, 2014)
Evolution of Silk Anchor Structure as the Joint Effect of Spinning Behavior and Spinneret Morphology
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2021-10)
Spider web anchors are attachment structures composed of the bi-phasic glue-fiber secretion from the piriform silk glands. The mechanical performance of the anchors strongly correlates with the structural assembly of the ...
Heterosis and parent–progeny relationships for silk extrusion dynamics and kernel number determination in maize: Nitrogen effects
(Crop Science Society of America, 2020-03)
Maize (Zea mays L.) ear-related traits conducive to final kernel number per plant (KNP) are currently considered key determinants of kernel set under abiotic stress. Understanding of the variation between parental inbred ...
Biodegradable porous silk microtubes for tissue vascularization
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-12)
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality around the globe, and microvasculature replacements to help stem these diseases are not available. Additionally, some vascular surgeries needing small-diameter ...
Direct Femtosecond Laser Printing of Silk Fibroin Microstructures
(2020-11-04)
Fabrication of functional silk fibroin microstructures has extensive applications in biotechnology and photonics. Considerable progress has been made based on lithographic methods and self-assembly approaches. However, ...
The role of flow in the self-assembly of dragline spider silk proteins
(Elsevier, 2023)
Hydrodynamic flow in the spider duct induces conformational changes in dragline spider silk proteins (spidroins) and drives their assembly, but the underlying physical mechanisms are still elusive. Here we address this ...
