Multifunctional Defense of Achelura yunnanensis Cocoon: High-Strength Tough Silk Fiber, Biomineral Reinforcement, and Protease Degradation Resistance.

Natural silks offer combinations of mechanical performance and biological functionality that synthetic materials still struggle to replicate. Here, we report the structural, mechanical, and biochemical characterization of cocoon silk from Achelura yunnanensis (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae), a moth that builds a leaf-wrapped...

BmMBNL Knockout Disrupts Molting of Silkworm, Bombyx mori, Through Inhibiting Expressions of Chitin Synthetase and Chitinase

Simple Summary Insects rely on molting to replace their old cuticle for growth, a process tightly regulated at the molecular level. However, the role of miRNA processing in this event remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the function of Muscleblind-like (MBNL) protein in the silkworm Bombyx mori, w...

A Sericin-Reinforced Poly(vinyl alcohol) Composite Hydrogel Integrating Sericin-Associated Silver Nanoparticles and Dual Growth Factors for Diabetic Wound Repair

Diabetic wound repair requires polymeric dressings that combine structural stability, swelling behavior, antibacterial activity, and biological support within a single material platform. Here, we report a sericin-reinforced poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composite hydrogel incorporating silver nanoparticles formed in a se...
