Sericin is a sticky protein substance, which is generated by the silk-worm for holding the
filaments of silk tightly. The main constituent of natural crude silk is made up of sericin and …

Silk from silkworms is composed of fibrous proteins with remarkable properties that have
resulted in wide usage in the textile industry and as a biomaterial in the medical field …

A crêpe silk fabric was treated with different alkaline (3374-L, GC 897-H), neutral (3273-C),
and acid (EC 3.4 23.18) proteases with the aim to study their effectiveness as degumming …

Silk fibers from Bombyx mori silkworm was degummed with different concentration of citric
acid, and the physical properties and fine structure were investigated to elucidate the effects …

Different varieties of silk differ from each other in their chemical composition as well as the
physical, chemical and mechanical properties. Silk degumming is a primary important …

In the process of removing sericin (degumming) from a raw silk scaffold, the fibroin structural
integrity is often challenged, leading to mechanical depreciation. This study aims to identify …

Golden cocoon silk fibers suffer a lot from limited yield and serious color losing, which
greatly restrict their uses. The development of golden cocoon-like silk fibers can effectively …

Current bone repair methods have limitations, prompting the exploration of innovative
approaches. Tissue engineering emerges as a promising solution, leveraging biomaterials …

Sericin, as the main component of silkworm cocoon silk, surrounds and protects the silk
fibroin. Sericin is a natural macromolecular protein complex encoded by the genes Ser1 …

Tendon disorders are common clinical conditions. Tendon tissue engineering provides a
new approach for tendon repair by integrating engineered substitutes with their native …
