...broin and outer layer of sericin protein. After the removal of sericin, silk is non-immunogenic and non-allergic. It is a renowned biomaterial due to its biocompatible nature. Silk proteins have been found to possess antibacterial properties and application in culturing tissues including skin, bone, cartilage and nerves. Sericin has been hailed to have antitumor activity and has also been ...

...nvestigate the effect of sericin and curcumin either alone or together on the reversal of hematological changes induced by carrageenan in the mice model. Mice were induced edema via λ-carrageenan (50µl/ mice) and different concentrations of sericin (0.03 mg/ml, 0.06 mg/ml and 0.09 mg/ml) and curcumin (1%, 2%, and 3%) were administered to the respective groups, then blood was collected for hematological analysis ...

Effect of Sericin and Honey on Economical and Biological Traits of Silkworm, Bombyx mori (L.) (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae)

Naila Shahzadi¹, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir¹*, Azizullah¹, Muhamamd Farooq Bhatti², Shaukat Ali¹, Muhamamd Summer¹ and Farman Ahmad Chaudhary³

...this study the effect of sericin (5%) and honey (3%) on economical and biological traits of Bombyx mori (L.) (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) was recorded. The 5th instar (day 1) mulberry silkworms were divided into four groups of 20 each: namely a control and three experimental groups. Plain (untreated) mulberry leaves were offered to the control group while experimental groups were fed on the mulberry leaves treated with exogenous nutrients alone (5%
