Silk sericin, a natural protein extracted from silkworm cocoons, has been extensively studied
and utilized in the biomedical field because of its superior biological activities and …

Silks are natural polymers that have been widely used for centuries. Silk consists of a
filament core protein, termed fibroin, and a glue-like coating substance formed of sericin …

Developing a non-toxic, super-absorbent and antibacterial hydrogel as a skin wound
dressing is of significant importance. Sericin hydrogel is an ideal dressing material as it has …

A wound dressing which can be convenient for real-time monitoring of wounds is particularly
attractive and user-friendly. In this study, a nature-originated silk-sericin-based (SS-based) …

Abstract Microfibrillar-associated protein 4 (MFAP4) is an extracellular matrix protein
belonging to the fibrinogen-related domain family. It has been localized to elastic fiber-rich …

The damage to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells can lead to vision loss and permanent
blindness. Therefore, an effective therapeutic strategy has emerged to replace damaged …

Melanogenesis is the process of production of melanin pigments that are responsible for the
colors of skin, eye, and hair and provide protection from ultraviolet radiation. However …

Silk sericin (SS), a globular and water-soluble protein, showed to in vitro sustain the
proliferation of different mammalian cell lines, and to in vitro protect them from the oxidative …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important roles in various biological processes. Our
previous work has revealed that dedifferentiation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells …

Sericin is a 10-to-400 kDa hydrophilic protein with high serine content and is a silk
constituent together with fibroin. It is produced in the middle silk gland of the silkworm and …
