From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Differentiation and Population Structure of Idyla bicristata (Gastropoda: Clausiliidae) on Euboea, Greece

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Idyla bicristata is a highly variable rock‐dwelling door snail species living on limestone rocks around the Aegean Sea. The island of Euboea and the adjacent Greek mainland are a hotspot for morphological variability in I. bicristata, resulting in the various forms being named. A population genetic analysis of 23 populations of I.

Wet adhesion and adhesive locomotion of snails on anti-adhesive non-wetting surfaces [PDF]

, 2012
Creating surfaces capable of resisting liquid-mediated adhesion is extremely difficult due to the strong capillary forces that exist between surfaces.

Functional evidence for cone-specific connectivity in the human retina [PDF]

, 2005
NoPhysiological studies of colour vision have not yet resolved the controversial issue of how chromatic opponency is constructed at a neuronal level. Two competing theories, the cone-selective hypothesis and the random-wiring hypothesis, are currently ...

Characterization of the venom of the vermivorous cone snail Conus fulgetrum [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2016
Abstract Over 200 components with molecular mass ranging mainly from 400 to 4000 Da were characterized from the venom of the vermivorous cone snail Conus fulgetrum that inhabit Egyptian Red Sea. One major component having a molecular mass of 2946 Da was purified by HPLC, and its primary structure was determined by a combination of Edman ...
