New Insights into Sepsis Therapy Using Sepia Officinalis. [PDF]
Jundishapur J Microbiol, 2016 Sepsis remains a major problem for both scientists and clinicians. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) is considered the gold standard for animal models of sepsis. The undesirable side effects of certain antibiotics have forced scientists to discover new, natural, and safe antimicrobial agents, such as cephalopods, which are known to display significant ...

Saccadic Movement Strategy in Common Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis). [PDF]
Front Physiol, 2016 Most moving animals segregate their locomotion trajectories in short burst like rotations and prolonged translations, to enhance distance information from optic flow, as only translational, but not rotational optic flow holds distance information. Underwater, optic flow is a valuable source of information as it is in the terrestrial habitat, however ...
