Discovery of protein-based natural hydrogel from the girdle of the ‘sea cockroach’ Chiton articulatus (Chitonida: Chitonidae) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Hydrogels are widely used materials in biomedical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural fields. However, these hydrogels are usually formed synthetically via a long and complicated process involving crosslinking natural polymers.

The Multiphasic Teeth of Chiton Articulatus, an Abrasion‐Resistant and Self‐Sharpening Tool for Hard Algae Collection [PDF]

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 33, August 14, 2024.
Investigation of the ultrahard teeth of a mollusk find in the tropical Pacific reveals the presence of multiple phases of iron oxide as well as calcium phosphate, with highly tuned microstructural features. The combination of these features results in an abrasion‐resistant tough structure with a self‐sharpening ability, which contribute to developing ...

Hermaphroditism in two populations ofChiton articulatus(Mollusca: Polyplacophora) from the eastern tropical coast of México [PDF]

Invertebrate Reproduction & Development, 2013
Through histological analyses, this study reveals an unusually high incidence of hermaphroditism in Chiton articulatus. Specimens were sampled every 30 days between September 2010 and September 2011 at two locations (Las Brisas and Jaramillo beaches, Acapulco) on the tropical eastern Pacific coast of Mexico.
