HELIX: A data-driven characterization of Brazilian land snails

Anais do XXXVI Simpósio Brasileiro de Banco de Dados (SBBD 2021), 2021
Decision-support systems benefit from hidden patterns extracted from digital information. In the specific domain of gastropod characterization, morphometrical measurements support biologists in the identification of land snail specimens. Although snails can be easily identified by their excretory and reproductive systems, the after-death mollusk body ...

Gout and NLRP3 Inflammasome Biology

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
This review describes the three broad stages of acute inflammation in the context of gout: initiation, leucocyte mobilization, and self‐resolution. A typical case of a gout flare is presented. The role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in acute monosodium urate crystal–induced inflammation is reviewed in detail.

Failure of long-term memory formation in juvenile snails is determined by acetylation status of histone H3 and can be improved by NaB treatment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Animals' capacities for different forms of learning do not mature simultaneously during ontogenesis but the molecular mechanisms behind the delayed development of specific types of memory are not fully understood.

Of all shapes and sizes: a theoretical framework for animal‐mediated terrestrial heterogeneity across scales

Ecography, EarlyView.
Animals redistribute elements throughout their lives by depositing wastes and carcasses. Growing evidence shows that these zoogeochemical processes enhance landscape diversity and heterogeneity worldwide. We provide a descriptive framework for understanding how direct animal depositions (i.e.

Characterization of Pressure Pulsation Propagation in a Pump‐Turbine Based on the Same‐Frequency Tracking Method

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pressure pulsation is a key factor affecting the safe and stable operation of pump‐turbines. This article is based on same frequency‐tracking method on the pressure pulsation propagation characteristics of pump‐turbine during generation mode. The numerical simulation is validated by experimental study on a model pump‐turbine.

Hyperpolarization Modulation of the T‐Type hCav3.2 Channel by Human Synenkephalin [1–53], a Shrew Neurotoxin Analogue without Paralytic Effects

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 27, July 1, 2025.
Human synenkephalin [1–53] (hSYN), an analogue peptide of shrew saliva neurotoxins, was synthesized and its structural characteristics studied. Synthetic hSYN potently activated the T‐type voltage‐gated Ca channel hCav3.2 but did not paralyze mealworms. These findings offer new insight into neurological disorder treatment and evolutionary mechanisms of
