This study aimed to investigate the immune mechanisms of pedal mucus in Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai from different populations. Proteomic differences between the pedal mucus of the control group and the heat-resistance group of H. discus hannai were comparatively analyzed, and the proteins were annotated and analyzed to understand the related functions and roles of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). The results showed that there were 4054 DEPs in total, among which the DEPs in the pedal mucus of the heat-resistance group and the control group were mainly immune-related heat shock proteins, calmodulin, Ig-like and fibronectin type III domain-containing proteins, histones and mucins, etc.; the DEPs related to growth metabolism included glutathione, growth factor receptor-bound protein, alanine aminotransferase, etc. Circadian entrainment signaling pathway and growth hormone synthesis, secretion and action signaling pathway was significantly enriched, cortisol synthesis and secretion signaling pathway was up-regulated in Haliotis discus hannai heat-resistance group. This study provided references for exploring the relationship between the mucus proteome difference in pedal mucus from different abalone populations sources. These results would contribute to further search for proteins related to immunity, growth and stress resistance, and provide theoretical basis for the development of high-quality germplasm resources of Pacific abalone.

Introduction: Healthcare practitioners in low and middle-income countries encounter numerous challenges, including insufficient staffing, an unreliable electrical infrastructure, and constrained resources. Unstable availability of electricity constitutes a significant impediment to the efficacy of public health initiatives that depend on technology requiring electrical power. More than 95% of medical apparatus is procured from developed nations, with an only 13% of medical device manufacturers situated within LMIC.

The seven-spotted ladybird () is a Coleoptera with dome-shaped elytra. It exhibits a unique braking ability during somersaults, which may be attributed to the typical hair-like structures coated on the surface of its foot. However, the mechanism by which this hair-like structure aids in braking during somersaults remains unexplored.

Tissue collection methods for sampling of biological material often present various drawbacks related to ethical concerns as well as to the conservation status of many species. In this study, a conservative noninvasive sampling technique for genetic analyses was developed and optimized in three terrestrial gastropod species, namely, , , and . Our approach involves the sampling of a minimal amount of periosteum and pedal mucus, providing a viable alternative that does not harm the organisms, combining a few modifications in DNA isolation procedures depending on the sample.

: The treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) is a challenging medical problem of extreme clinical and social importance, as a consequence of the emerging antibiotic resistance and decreased quality of life of diabetic patients due to impaired wound healing. One of the current trends in world science is the search for biologically active substances derived from living organisms. Biologically active peptides from snail mucus attract considerable scientific interest because of their pleiotropic pharmacological properties.
