Non‐viral Gene Therapy for Melanoma Using Lysenin from Eisenia Foetida
A nanoparticle‐mediated gene therapy based on Lysenin, an exogenous pore‐forming protein from earthworm Eisenia foetida, holds promise for cancer treatment by directly killing the transfected cancer cells and inducing the anticancer immunity, which inspires the development of future cancer therapeutics related to pore‐forming proteins.

Neuropeptide expression and action in the reproductive system of the starfish Asterias rubens
The expression and action of neuropeptides in the reproductive system of the starfish Asterias rubens were investigated, as illustrated here for ArPPLN2h. This neuropeptide is expressed in the coelomic epithelial layer of the gonads [CE(Gd); arrowheads] in both female (a) and male (b) animals, and it causes relaxation of ovary (c) and testis (d ...

A new Caenorhabditis elegans model to study copper toxicity in Wilson disease
C. elegans CUA‐1 is an ortholog of human ATP7B, mutations in which cause Wilson disease (WD). The copper‐transporting activity of CUA‐1 counteracts copper toxicity by sequestering excess copper ions in lysosomes and promoting their efflux to the extracellular space.

The providers of butyric acid, Clostridium butyricum (CB), sodium butyrate (SB), and tributyrin (TB), have been extensively studied as aquafeed additives in recent years. However, no comparative study has been reported on the probiotic effects of CB, SB, and TB as feed additives on sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus).
