Expression Pattern of Nitric Oxide Synthase during Development of the Marine Gastropod Mollusc, Crepidula fornicata. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2021 Nitric Oxide (NO) plays a key role in the induction of larval metamorphosis in several invertebrate phyla. The inhibition of the NO synthase in Crepidula fornicata, a molluscan model for evolutionary, developmental, and ecological research, has been ...

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.

Streptoneury Is Independent From Ontogenetic Torsion in the Caenogastropod Snail Marisa Cornuarietis
, 2021 A hallmark in snails’ anatomy is the conspicuous crossing of the pleurovisceral nerve cords present in all but the most derived gastropod clades. This feature is called streptoneury and hitherto near-universally believed to derive from the process of ...
