Can the silkworm (Bombyx mori) be used as a human disease model?

Drug discoveries & therapeutics - 1 Feb 2016

Tabunoki Hiroko, Bono Hidemasa, Ito Katsuhiko, Yokoyama Takeshi

Abstract excerpt

Bombyx mori (silkworm) is the most famous lepidopteran in Japan. B. mori has long been used in the silk industry and also as a model insect for agricultural research. In recent years, B. mori has attracted interest in its potential for use in pathological analysis of model animals. For example, the human macular carotenoid transporter was discovered using information of B. mori carotenoid transporter derived from...
