Molting is a highly complex process that requires precise coordination to be successful. We
describe the early classical endocrinological experiments that elucidated the hormones and …

The molting gland, or Y-organ (YO), is the primary site for ecdysteroid synthesis in decapod
crustaceans. Ecdysteroid biosynthesis is divided into two stages:(1) conversion of …

Sulfide is a natural and widely distributed toxicant. It can be commonly found on the interface
between water and sediment in the aquatic environment. The Pacific white shrimp …

A pair of Y-organs (YOs) are the molting glands of decapod crustaceans. They synthesize
and secrete steroid molting hormones (ecdysteroids) and their activity is controlled by …

Ecdysone receptor (EcR) is the primary regulator of the ecdysteroid signalling pathway, a
critical pathway that directly links to moulting. In addition, EcR also regulates growth …

Endocrine control of molting in decapod crustaceans involves the eyestalk neurosecretory
center (X-organ/sinus gland complex), regenerating limbs, and a pair of Y-organs (YOs), as …

Cultivated meat, also known as cultured or cell-based meat, is meat produced directly from
cultured animal cells rather than from a whole animal. Cultivated meat and seafood have …

In the last decade, myostatin (MSTN), a member of the TGFβ superfamily, has emerged as a
strong inhibitor of muscle growth in mammals. In fish many studies reveal a strong …

In decapod crustaceans, arthropod steroid hormones or ecdysteroids regulate molting.
These hormones are synthesized and released from a pair of molting glands called the Y …

A transcriptome of the Gecarcinus lateralis molting gland (Y-organ or YO) contained 48,590
contiguous sequences (contigs) from intermolt (IM), early premolt (EP), mid premolt (MP) …
