Pharmacological effects of bioactive agents in earthworm extract: A comprehensive review. [PDF]
EE blocks platelet adhesion and activation at the site of vascular injury. After vascular injury, many subendothelial matrix proteins are exposed to blood, including von Willebrand factor (vWF), fibrillar collagens, fibronectin and laminin, which facilitate platelet adhesion by binding to specific receptors on platelets; vWF binds the platelet GPIb‐V ...

A multi-protein receptor-ligand complex underlies combinatorial dendrite guidance choices in C. elegans. [PDF]
Ligand receptor interactions instruct axon guidance during development. How dendrites are guided to specific targets is less understood. The C. elegans PVD sensory neuron innervates muscle-skin interface with its elaborate dendritic branches.

Sipunculus nudus: particulate components of the coelomic fluid and its relationship with brown bodies [PDF]
Corpuscular components of the coelomic fluid were observed in Sipunculus nudus using cytochemical and cytoenzymatic methods. In particular, granulocytes were studied and two different types, based on morphology, chemical composition, and function were ...

Endocytic coelomocytes are required for lifespan extension by axenic dietary restriction
A rather peculiar but very potent means of achieving longevity is through axenic dietary restriction (ADR), where animals feed on (semi-)defined culture medium in absence of any other lifeform.
