Cone snail genome sheds light on venom evolution
, 2021 <strong> This week in <em> GigaScience </em> we published the genome of the mediterranean cone snail, <em> Lautoconus ventricosus </em> . Cone snails produce a wide variety of powerful toxins and the new chromosome-scale genome assembly opens the door for detailed investigations of their diversity and evolution.

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2014 Background:Calcium channel blockers such as conotoxins have shown a great potential to reduce brain and spinal cord injury. MVIIC neuroprotective effects analyzed in in vitromodels of brain and spinal cord ischemia suggest a potential role of this toxin ...

Novel conopeptides of largely unexplored Indo Pacific Conus sp. [PDF]
, 2016 Cone snails are predatory creatures using venom as a weapon for prey capture and defense. Since this venom is neurotoxic, the venom gland is considered as an enormous collection of pharmacologically interesting compounds having a broad spectrum of ...

Multi-view Convolutional Neural Networks for 3D Shape Recognition [PDF]
, 2015 A longstanding question in computer vision concerns the representation of 3D shapes for recognition: should 3D shapes be represented with descriptors operating on their native 3D formats, such as voxel grid or polygon mesh, or can they be effectively ...

Bioactive Mimetics of Conotoxins and other Venom Peptides
Toxins, 2015 Ziconotide (Prialt®), a synthetic version of the peptide ω-conotoxin MVIIA found in the venom of a fish-hunting marine cone snail Conus magnus, is one of very few drugs effective in the treatment of intractable chronic pain. However, its intrathecal mode
