Molecular Insights Into the Sensory Adaption of the Cave-Dwelling Leech Sinospelaeobdella wulingensis to the Karst Cave Environment. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We conducted a transcriptome analysis on the cave‐dwelling land leech Sinospelaeobdella wulingensis. Piezos, TRPs, and iGluRs may have roles in mechanosensory and chemosensory systems of this leech. Similar gene expression profiles in winter and summer samples imply a stable physiological status of S.

The potential of aquatic bloodfeeding and nonbloodfeeding leeches as a tool for iDNA characterisation. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour, 2022
Abstract Leeches play important roles in food webs due to their abundance, diversity and feeding habits. Studies using invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) extracted from leech gut contents to target vertebrate DNA have focused on the Indo‐Pacific region and mainly leveraged the leech family Haemadipsidae, composed of bloodfeeding terrestrial leeches, while

Future research directions of the model marine tubeworm Hydroides elegans and synthesis of developmental staging of the complete life cycle

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 252, Issue 11, Page 1391-1400, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Background The biofouling marine tube worm, Hydroides elegans, is an indirect developing polychaete with significance as a model organism for questions in developmental biology and the evolution of host‐microbe interactions. However, a complete description of the life cycle from fertilization through sexual maturity remains scattered in the ...

Conserved functions of prion candidates suggest a primeval role of protein self‐templating

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 91, Issue 9, Page 1298-1315, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Amyloid‐based prions have simple structures, a wide phylogenetic distribution, and a plethora of functions in contemporary organisms, suggesting they may be an ancient phenomenon. However, this hypothesis has yet to be addressed with a systematic, computational, and experimental approach.

Interaction between nanomaterials and the innate immune system across evolution

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 747-774, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Interaction of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) with the immune system mainly occurs with cells and molecules of innate immunity, which are present in interface tissues of living organisms. Immuno‐nanotoxicological studies aim at understanding if and when such interaction is inconsequential or may cause irreparable damage. Since innate immunity
