Microbiome dynamics associated with the infection of grey field slugs by the biocontrol nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe facultative-parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita has been used for many years as a biological control agent targeting slug pests. During the nematode’s infection process, the presence of certain bacteria has been suggested to affect the ...

Translational Inhibition of Slug by Pdcd4 Contributes to Invasion Inhibition in Colorectal Cancer Cells [PDF]
Cancer MedicineBackground Colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis remains a major cause of mortality, driven by epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) and invasion. Programmed cell death 4 (Pdcd4), a tumor suppressor, is known to inhibit translation via interaction with

Fungal spore transport by omnivorous mycophagous slug in temperate forest
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Slugs are important consumers of fungal fruiting bodies and expected to carry their spores. In this study, we examined whether slugs (Meghimatium fruhstorferi) can act as effective dispersers of spores of basidiomycetes.
