Our Ph.D. student ana P. Rodrigo just published two excellent papers from her thesis and associated with our project WormALL:
RODRIGO, A.P., GROSSO, A.R., BAPTISTA, P.V., FERNANDES, A.R., & COSTA, P.M. (2021). A transcriptomic approach to the recruitment of venom proteins in a marine annelid. Toxins 13, 97. (doi: 10.3390/toxins13020097)
RODRIGO, A.P., MENDES, V.M., MANADAS, B., GROSSO, A.R., ALVES DE MATOS, A.P., BAPTISTA, P.V., COSTA, P.M., FERNANDES, A.R. (2021). Specific antiproliferative properties of proteinaceous toxin secretions from the marine annelid Eulalia sp. onto ovarian cancer cells. Marine Drugs 19, 31. (doi: 10.3390/md19010031)
These works combine toxicology, ecology, histochemistry and multi-omics to study toxins secreted by marine Polychaeta and explore their biotechnological potential.
