Metabolomics Analysis of the Larval Head of the Silkworm, Bombyx mori.
TL;DR: A metabolomics analysis of silkworm heads provided references which elucidate the potential functions of the silkworm head and will be of great value for the metabolomics research of silkworms and other insects.

GC/MS-based metabolomics analysis reveals active fatty acids biosynthesis in the Filippi's gland of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, during silk spinning.
TL;DR: The most interesting result is that the Filippi's gland has a very active fatty acid biosynthesis process during spinning, suggesting that it may synthesize lipids or waxes and secrete them into the anterior silk gland (ASG) to promote silk spinning.

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Carboxypeptidase Genes in Silkworm (Bombyx mori)
TL;DR: The silkworm genome database is analyzed and characterized, providing new insights into the functional and evolutionary features of silkworm carboxypeptidases, which have more family members than other insects.
Crystal structure of Bombyx mori arylphorins reveals a 3:3 heterohexamer with multiple papain cleavage sites.
TL;DR: The limited proteolysis assay and microarray data strongly suggest that papain‐like proteases are the major players for B. mori arylphorins digestion in vitro and in vivo and provide the insightful information to understand the metamorphosis of holometabolous insects at molecular level.

Proteome profile of spinneret from the silkworm, Bombyx mori
TL;DR: The data suggest that silkworm spinneret provides a suitable physiological and biochemical environment for silk fibrillogenesis and these proteins are potential targets for improving silk quality in the silk industry.
