... of several C-type lectins have already been reported in the epithelium of the pallial organs and digestive tract of different bivalve species ( Pales Espinosa et al., 2010 ; Yamaura et al., 2008 ) and further proteomic analysis of C. virginica confirmed that some of these cognate proteins were secreted...

Here, we identified stem cell and mitotic markers to further characterize oyster...

Our findings corroborate the specialized roles of hemocytes and the OME in biomineralization and emphasize complexity of the biological controls over shell formation in bivalves. * These authors...

...Glenn Lurman; Johanna Walter; Hans H. Hoppeler For low-energy organisms such as bivalves, the costs of thermal compensation of biological rates (synonymous with acclimation or acclimatization) may be higher than the benefits. We therefore conducted two experiments to examine the effect of seasonal...

... in bivalve tissues. These results reveal that, without verification of the shares of proteasomal and non-proteasomal activities in crude extracts through the use of highly specific inhibitors, common proteasomal enzyme assays should be used and interpreted with caution.
