Physiological, Diurnal and Stress-Related Variability of Cadmium-Metallothionein Gene Expression in Land Snails.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The terrestrial Roman snail Helix pomatia has successfully adapted to strongly fluctuating conditions in its natural soil habitat. Part of the snail's stress defense strategy is its ability to express Metallothioneins (MTs).

Selective modulation of NaV channel gating counteracts aberrant hyperexcitability and rescues motor function and survival in a model of spinal muscular atrophy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron disease caused by SMN1 gene loss, leading to reduced survival motor neuron (SMN) protein and progressive motor neuron degeneration. Although SMN‐restoring therapies improve outcomes, residual disease burden and non‐curative efficacy underscore the need for complementary treatments ...

Transmembrane helix dynamics of bacterial chemoreceptors supports a piston model of signalling. [PDF]

, 2011
Transmembrane α-helices play a key role in many receptors, transmitting a signal from one side to the other of the lipid bilayer membrane. Bacterial chemoreceptors are one of the best studied such systems, with a wealth of biophysical and mutational data

Long non‐coding RNAs at the crossroads of inflammation, cancer and angiogenesis: Molecular mechanisms and their potential as therapeutic targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a broad class of non‐protein‐coding RNAs, are characterized as new regulators of gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional, and post‐transcriptional level. Thus, lncRNAs are involved in the regulation of physiological processes and the development of human diseases and cancer by modulating proinflammatory ...

Minor Risk to Contract Metazoan Parasites via the Consumption of Edible Snails, Born and Reared in France

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In a context of food security of animal consumption and diversification of protein sources, we have studied the risks to contract metazoan parasites through the consumption of ‘gros‐gris’ snails (Cornu aspersum maximum) sampled in 12 French farms.

STUDY OF THE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN MORPHOLOGIC PARAMETERS, AT TWO EDIBLE SNAILS POPULATIONS DEPENDING ON THE METABOLIC ACTIVITY STATUS

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
In the present study we calculated the correlations between the “alive” (green) weight and the biometric parameters of the shell according to the geographical area and the metabolic activity status.

Two instead of one: citizen science and range clarification of Helix thessalica and H. pomatia (Gastropoda: Helicidae) in Ukraine [PDF]

Malacologica Bohemoslovaca
Numerous observations by amateur naturalists, together with some literature data and the malacological collection of the State Museum of Natural History in Lviv, helped to clarify the present ranges of two large and similar land snails, which were ...

Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.
