Structural characterization of the buccal mass of Ariolimax californicus (Gastropoda; Stylommatophora) [PDF]

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2019
Biological materials such as chiton tooth, squid beak, and byssal threads of bivalves have inspired the development of new technologies. To this end, we have characterized the acellular components in the buccal mass of the terrestrial slug Ariolimax californicus (banana slug). These components are the radula, the jaw, and the odontophore. In the radula,
