Caffeic Acid Derivative MPMCA Inhibits Prostate Cancer EMT and Metastasis by Regulating Transcription Factors Snail and Slug [PDF]

Cells
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most general cancer in men and is often linked with distant metastasis in its later stages. The caffeic acid (CA) derivative, N-(4-methoxyphenyl)methylcaffeamide (MPMCA), demonstrates superior liver-protective effects ...

Development of an Optical System Based on Spectral Imaging Used for a Slug Control Robot

Horticulturae, 2022
The state-of-the-art technique to control slug pests in agriculture is the spreading of slug pellets. This method has some downsides, because slug pellets also harm beneficials and often fail because their efficiency depends on the prevailing weather ...

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.
