Inhibition of Period Gene Expression Causes Repression of Cell Cycle Progression and Cell Growth in the Bombyx mori Cells

Conclusion Knockdown of BmPer expression in Bombyx mori blocked the BmN cell cycle, decreased nuclear size, accelerated apoptosis and autophagy, and inhibited cell proliferation.
