Structural and thermal characteristics of Antheraea pernyi silk fibroin/chitosan blend film
TL;DR: In this article, the conformation of A. pernyi silk fibroin (SF)/chitosan blend films was revealed to be a β-sheet structure, mainly due to the effect of acetic acid used as a mixing solvent.

TL;DR: Within saturniid fibroins, thermal stability was found to correlate with the abundance of poly-alanine residues, whereas differences in fibre extensibility can be related to varying ratios of GGX motifs versus bulky hydrophobic residues in the amorphous phase.

Attachment and growth of cultured fibroblast cells on silk protein matrices
TL;DR: It is concluded, therefore, that the attachment condition on silk fibroin is ideal for the viability, growth and function of the cells.

Attachment and growth of fibroblast cells on silk fibroin.
TL;DR: The attachment and growth of fibroblast cells (L-929) on matrices of silk fibroin from Bombyx mori domestic silkworm and Antheraea pernyi wild silkworm were studied by a cell culture method and WSF, which contains the tripeptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp, displayed much higher cell attachment andgrowth compared to DSF.

Physico-chemical properties of silk fibroin membrane as a biomaterial
TL;DR: A water-insoluble silk fibroin membrane was prepared by immersing it in 50 vol% aqueous methanol solution for different periods of time at 25 degrees C to use as a biomaterial, oxygen permeability, transparency, mechanical property and enzymatic degradation behaviour in vitro of the membrane in the wet state were investigated.
