HvRNASET2 Regulate Connective Tissue and Collagen I Remodeling During Wound Healing Process

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Several studies have recently demonstrated that the correct regeneration of damaged tissues and the maintaining of homeostasis after wounds or injuries are tightly connected to different biological events, involving immune response, fibroplasia, and ...

TRANSITIONAL MORPHOLOGY IN HYBRIDS OF HIRUDO VERBANA AND H. ORIENTALIS (CLITELLATA, HIRUDINIDA)

Vestnik Zoologii, 2013
Abstract The aim of this research was to test the ability of hybridizing Hirudo orientalis S. Utevsky et Trontelj, 2005 and Hirudo verbana Carena, 1820. We obtained offspring from both species. The color pattern of all the hybrids was uniform and quite different from both the parents. The venter was similar to H. verbana.

The Historical and Overlooked Collapse of Medicinal Leeches in Spain

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Leeches in genus Hirudo have been used in medicine since ancient times, but increased exploitation during the 19th century led to the depletion of several populations in Europe. A compilation of Hirudo records in Spain (H. troctina Johnson, 1816 and H. verbana Carena, 1820) show that the genus was more commonly mentioned and widely distributed

Molecular Insights Into the Sensory Adaption of the Cave‐Dwelling Leech Sinospelaeobdella wulingensis to the Karst Cave Environment

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
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.

Form and function of anguilliform swimming

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2190-2210, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Anguilliform swimmers are long and narrow animals that propel themselves by undulating their bodies. Observations in nature and recent investigations suggest that anguilliform swimming is highly efficient. However, understanding the underlying reasons for the efficiency of this type of locomotion requires interdisciplinary studies spanning ...

Anatomy and activity patterns in a multifunctional motor neuron and its surrounding circuits

eLife, 2021
Dorsal Excitor motor neuron DE-3 in the medicinal leech plays three very different dynamical roles in three different behaviors. Without rewiring its anatomical connectivity, how can a motor neuron dynamically switch roles to play appropriate roles in ...

Exploring the role of RNASET2 in the immune response of black soldier fly larvae

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 116, Issue 4, August 2024.
RNASET2 involvement in the immune response of black soldier fly larvae. Abstract T2 RNases are transferase‐type enzymes distributed across phyla, crucial for breaking down single‐stranded RNA molecules. In addition to their canonical function, several T2 enzymes exhibit pleiotropic roles, contributing to various biological processes, such as the immune

Shared strategies for behavioral switching: understanding how locomotor patterns are turned on and off

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010
Animals frequently switch from one behavior to another, often to meet the demands of their changing environment or internal state. What factors control these behavioral switches and the selection of what to do or what not to do? To address these issues,
