Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.

Modulation of cholinergic synaptic transmission in an identified locust sensory pathway [PDF]

, 2000
The monosynaptic connection between the locust forewing stretch receptor (fSR) and the first basalar motoneuron (BAl) is part of a sensory pathway involved in flight.

Small molecules as arthropod kinin receptor antagonists, feeding modulators, or novel mosquitocidal agents

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6842-6863, July 2026.
A two‐pronged screen of small molecules – (1) on recombinant kinin receptor and (2) through topical application – identifies kinin receptor antagonists, feeding behavior modulators, and new mosquitocidal molecules. Abstract BACKGROUND Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes are primary vectors for numerous human and animal pathogens and ...

In Situ Hybridization Chain Reaction and Immunohistochemical Labeling of the Octopamine Production Pathway in the Central Nervous System of Lymnaea stagnalis

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 6, June 2026.
Octopaminergic neurons in the central nervous system of Lymnaea stagnalis were mapped using three complementary markers: mRNA, enzyme, and neurotransmitter. While substantial overlap was observed, discrepancies revealed neuroanatomical complexities, reinforcing the value of combining HCR and IHC for a more robust interpretation of neurotransmitter ...

Pharmacological Properties and Function of the PxOctβ3 Octopamine Receptor in Plutella xylostella (L.)

Insects, 2022
The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) is one of the most destructive lepidopteran pests of cruciferous vegetables, and insights into regulation of its physiological processes contribute towards the development of new pesticides against it.

Layered reward signalling through octopamine and dopamine in Drosophila

, 2013
Dopamine is synonymous with reward and motivation in mammals. However, only recently has dopamine been linked to motivated behaviour and rewarding reinforcement in fruitflies.

Altered immunity in crowded Mythimna separata is mediated by octopamine and dopamine

Scientific Reports, 2018
Similar to pathogenic infection, high population density alters insects’ prophylactic immunity. Density-dependent prophylaxis has been reported in many polyphenic insects, but the regulatory mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains unclear.

Widespread Variation in Retinochrome Spectral Absorbance Across Scallop Phylogeny

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Vision is a two‐step process, including phototransduction initiated by a retinal‐bound opsin photopigment, and subsequent photopigment regeneration wherein the inactive state is restored. Because retinal isomerization, or changing of the molecular structural conformation, drives the activation of opsin photopigments, the reverse process is a ...
