Diversity and Evolutionary Analysis of Venom Insulin Derived from Cone Snails
ToxinsCone snails possess a diverse array of novel peptide toxins, which selectively target ion channels and receptors in the nervous and cardiovascular systems. These numerous novel peptide toxins are a valuable resource for future marine drug development. In

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 5, August 2026.ABSTRACT Gathering activities have evolved from survival‐driven practices to predominantly recreational and cultural pursuits, weakening the connection with nature and potentially reducing navigational skills, which may help explain why gathering accounts for 8% of the search operations in Catalonia (Spain). A key focus of this study was the comparison

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.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.Dietary polyphenols and phytochemicals suppress NF‐κB signaling. Mechanistically, by inhibiting IκBα degradation and preventing nuclear translocation of p65/p50 complexes, the polyphenols reduce the expression of pro‐inflammatory and pro‐survival genes, thereby decreasing overall cancer cell survival.

Glowing seashells: diversity of fossilized coloration patterns on coral reef-associated cone snail (Gastropoda: Conidae) shells from the Neogene of the Dominican Republic. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The biology of modern Conidae (cone snails)--which includes the hyperdiverse genus Conus--has been intensively studied, but the fossil record of the clade remains poorly understood, particularly within an evolutionary framework.
