What is The Influence of Silkworm Species on Cellular Interactions with Novel PVA/Silk Sericin Hydrogels about?
## Abstract Sericin peptides and PVA are chemically modified with methacrylate groups to produce a covalent PVA/sericin hydrogel. Preservation of the sericin bioactivity following methacrylation is confirmed, and PVA/sericin hydrogels are fabricated for both __B. mori__ and __A. mylitta__ sericin. Cell adhesion studies confirm the preservation of sericin bioactivity post incorporation in PVA gels. PVA/__A. mylitta__ gels are observed to facilitate cell adhesion to a significantly greater degree than PVA/__B. mori__ gels. Overall, the incorporation of sericin does not alter the physical properties of the PVA hydrogels but does result in significantly improved cellular interaction, particularly from __A. mylitta__ gels.magnified image
