Evaluation and Comparison of the Effects of Mature Silkworm ( Bombyx mori ) and Silkworm Pupae Extracts on Schwann Cell Proliferation and Axon Growth: An In Vitro Study.

The findings of this study demonstrated that extracts obtained from silkworms, especially pupae, can play an effective role in Schwann cell proliferation and axonal growth, which can be strong evidence for nerve regeneration, and, consequently, repairing peripheral nerve damage.
