What explains the invading success of the aquatic mud snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Hydrobiidae, Mollusca)? [PDF]
, 2008 The spread of non-native species is one of the most harmful and least reversible disturbances in ecosystems. Species have to overcome several filters to become a pest (transport, establishment, spread and impact). Few studies have checked the traits that

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron disease caused by SMN1 gene loss, leading to reduced survival motor neuron (SMN) protein and progressive motor neuron degeneration. Although SMN‐restoring therapies improve outcomes, residual disease burden and non‐curative efficacy underscore the need for complementary treatments ...

Conotoxins: Therapeutic Potential and Application
Marine Drugs, 2006 The pharmacological variety of conotoxins, diverse peptides found in the venoms of marine cone snails, is well recognized. Venoms from each of the estimated 500 species of cone snails contain 50 to 200 distinct biologically active peptides.

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.In the Drosophila ovarian niche, an E‐cadherin‐to‐N‐cadherin switch, mediated by Wnt‐mir‐994 signalling, is repurposed to ensure niche resilience. This compensatory mechanism maintains niche integrity and stem cell support upon E‐cadherin loss, revealing a robustness circuit.
