Natural biomaterial with enhanced regenerative potential is always sought after as a primary choice for ridge reconstruction. Silk, a biopolymer with its constituent proteins (fibroin and sericin) has recently demonstrated promising outcomes in vitro. However, the molecular mechanism by which this occurs remains to be elucidated.&lt;strong&gt; Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;We assessed the molecular interactions between silk proteins bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 type IA and type II receptors using molecular docking. &lt;strong&gt;Methodology:&lt;/strong&gt; The N-terminal domain of silk proteins and structural complex of BMP-2 type IA and type II receptors were considered for protein–protein docking using the high ambiguity-driven protein–protein docking (HADDOCK) server. HADDOCK scores are a measure of the predicted stability of the protein–protein complex, and a lower score indicates a more stable complex and a higher affinity for binding.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The HADDOCK scores and root mean square deviation value for interaction between silk proteins with BMP-2 type IA and type II receptors were (−114.2 ± 25.0 and −143.1 ± 11.3) and (2.9 ± 0.4 and 1.9 ± 0.5), respectively, for fibroin and (−1.8 ± 15.6 and −9.7 ± 25.2) and (3.5 ±0.3 and 0.9 ± 0.6), respectively, for sericin. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The interaction between fibroin and BMP-2 receptors was more stable with higher affinity.&lt;/p&gt;

ROS causes oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL), which builds up in plaque and contributes to inflammation. With aldehyde secondary products of lipid peroxidation such as Malondialdehyde (MDA), lipoxygenase, and xanthine oxidase as markers of oxidative stress, oxidized LDL causes endothelial dysfunction and cell apoptosis. The antioxidant 1,1 diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) sericin from &lt;em&gt;Bombyx mori&lt;/em&gt; was tested &lt;em&gt;in silico&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; in this study. The &lt;em&gt;Bombyx mori&lt;/em&gt; peptide sequences QAYADYHSDPNGGSA (SP4) and ASSSFDASSA (SP7) had lower Gibbs energy for lipooxygenase (LOX) than native ligands, with values of -23.1044, -21.0056, and -10.3275 kcal/mol, respectively. hydrogen bonding to Gln289, Asp293, and Gly569. While ASSSFDASSA (SP7) has a higher Gibbs energy for xanthine oxidase (XOX), SEASSSTQATTVS (SP 5) has a lower Gibbs energy with values of -20.1839, -17.8952, and -11.8921 kcal/mol, respectively. While the cavity binding of the xanthine oxidase peptide binding SP5 and SP7 is located at the Glu802, Asp872, and Ser876 binding sites, the DPPH test confirmed&lt;em&gt; in vitro&lt;/em&gt; that the 10% sericin Gel had an IC50 of 19.7394 ppm compared to 3.71 ppm ascorbic acid. The findings of the preceding study demonstrate that sericin, as an antioxidant, is one of the candidates for antiaging.&lt;/p&gt;

After that, various parameters including body weight, blood glucose, hematological and biochemical parameters were determined. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results revealed that fasting plasma glucose level in 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; week of Nanglai fibroin, Nangnoi fibroin and Nangnoi sericin expressed a better reduction of FPG in diabetic rats compared with diabetic control groups (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05). All hematological parameters of each group were not different within those values (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;gt;0.05). In case of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and alkaline phosphatase value showed that some of treated groups was different from diabetic control (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05), while all of treated groups showed different in cholesterol and high density lipoprotein value (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Silkworm powders, fibroin and sericin of three races exhibited a therapeutic potential for the reduction plasma glucose level. Treatments of silkworm powder, fibroin and sericin did not have any effect on hematological parameters. Improvement of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase values and lipid profiles also were also observed in the treatment groups.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">559</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Surapong Rattana&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Teeraporn Katisart&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Chirapha Butiman&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Bunleu Sungthong&lt;sup&gt;4 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
