Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers who studied silkworms, the larvae of the moth Bombyx mori, have found that higher levels of an enzyme known as NAD+ give them longer ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully produced full-length spider silk fibers using genetically modified silkworms. With high strength and toughness, this silk has the potential to provide ...

Mussels and silkworms may soon be indirectly responsible for saving people's lives. Scientists have used proteins from both animals to develop an internal wound dressing that stops bleeding and ...

Did you know that silk fabric is made from ... well, worm spit? The way that silkworms wind their cocoons from fibers in their slimy saliva is now helping scientists more easily make new biomedical ...

Researchers have successfully produced the first full-length spider silk by genetically modifying silkworms using CRISPR, a significant advancement for the sustainable production of lightweight ...

The effect of using graphene, as well as carbon nanotubes, has been tested out in studies to show the tensile strength of the produced silk. The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the ...

Honestly, it seems like silk pajamas are on a downswing in popularity. Which is a damn shame. But the Mediated Matter Research Group (part of the MIT Media Lab) recently put thousands of silkworms to ...
