Studies on horizontal cells of the carp retina with special reference to temperature and calcium [PDF]
, 1995 Carp [Cyprinus carpio) were acclimated to 8±1 C, 16±1.5 C and 26±1 C. Dark adapted retinas were isolated and light induced responses of HI horizontal cells recorded.

Selective tuning of L-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels to strong synaptic activity
, 2002 L-type voltage-sensitive Ca²⁺ channels VSCCs are important in mediating activity-dependent gene expression that may contribute to neuronal plasticity. Evidence shows that the L-type VSCC has slow activation kinetics making it function as a filter'for ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.
