Evidence that gastropod torsion is driven by asymmetric cell proliferation activated by TGF-β signalling [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2011 Gastropods are characterized by their asymmetric bodyplan, which develops through a unique ontogenetic process called ‘torsion’. Despite several intensive studies, the driving force of torsion remains to be determined. Although torsion was traditionally believed to be driven by contraction of the retractor muscle connecting the foot and ...

A Method for Quantifying, Visualising, and Analysing Gastropod Shell Form. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Quantitative analysis of organismal form is an important component for almost every branch of biology. Although generally considered an easily-measurable structure, the quantification of gastropod shell form is still a challenge because many shells lack ...

GASTROPOD TORSION: A TEST OF GARSTANG'S HYPOTHESIS
The Biological Bulletin, 1985 Torsion occurs in gastropod molluscs as a 180° twisting of the shell and viscera relative to the head and foot of the veliger larva. Garstang (1928, 1929) proposed, and it has since become widely accepted, that torsion functions as a larval defense by allowing veligers to first pull the head into the shell, then sealing the aperture with the foot and ...

Proteomic analysis of trochophore and veliger larvae development in the small abalone Haliotis diversicolor [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background Haliotis diversicolor is commercially important species. The trochophore and veliger are distinct larval stages in gastropod development. Their development involves complex morphological and physiological changes.

Shape Memory Soft Robotics with Yield Stress Fluids
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023 Many organisms use non‐Newtonian fluids and pressurized cavities to produce movement. Inspired by these biological motifs, this study 3D prints soft robotics into a yield stress support matrix and retains the support material as the power transmission fluid.

A Molecular‐Scale Understanding of Misorientation Toughening in Corals and Seashells
Advanced Materials, Volume 35, Issue 28, July 13, 2023., 2023 Coral skeletons and nacre (left and right, respectively) have distinct structures, but they share slight misorientation of adjacent crystals, as displayed in these maps where color represents crystal orientation, and as measured in the histogram (center bottom).
