Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.In this study, we investigated the effects of a range of salinity on the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata, a highly invasive species and an important pest of rice. To examine the molecular response of P. canaliculata to salinity, we recorded young snails grown in a saline water environment for 4 months and compared their physiological and biochemical ...

An unexpected twist: Sperm cells coil to the right in land snails and to the left in song birds [PDF]
, 2017 In animals, cell polarity may initiate symmetry breaking very early in development, ultimately leading to whole-body asymmetry. Helical sperm cells, which occur in a variety of animal clades, are one class of cells that show clearly visible bilateral

Transforming Growth Factor‐β Pathway: Biological Functions and Therapeutic Targets
MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2025.Natural compounds modulate the TGF‐β pathway, which acts as both a tumor suppressor and promoter during cancer progression. Agents such as ginsenosides, halofuginone, and EGCG influence cell proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. These bioactive molecules may complement standard therapies, highlighting the need for advanced formulations ...

Critical time window for NO-cGMP-dependent long-term memory formation after one-trial appetitive conditioning [PDF]
, 2002 The nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP signaling pathway is implicated in an increasing number of experimental models of plasticity. Here, in a behavioral analysis using one-trial appetitive associative conditioning, we show that there is an obligatory requirement ...
