The introduction of marine cone snail species from the coast of the Qeshm Island, contains conotoxin palliative pain in mice [PDF]
بومشناسی آبزیان, 2019 Conotoxins are small toxic peptides that are synthesized in cone snail venom ducts. Conotoxins have analgesic effects in models animal. In this study, the analgesic effects with no toxicity of Persian Gulf cone snails, Conus coronatus, and Conus frigidus

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

The M-Superfamily of Conotoxins: A Review [PDF]
, 2010 Throughout the world there exist both predator and prey. This distinction is apparent though sometimes misleading. Take for example marine snails of the genus Conus that are present across the oceans of the southern hemisphere [1].

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‐

SNAIL SPEARS AND SCIMITARS: A CHARACTER ANALYSIS OF CONUS RADULAR TEETH [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 1999 Knowledge of the attributes of the venom-injecting radular teeth of Conus can enhance understanding of the functional biology of feeding and the systematics of this large and taxonomically difficult genus of gastropods. We define and provide a scheme for coding the states of Conus radular tooth characters, in order to facilitate their use in taxonomic ...
