A study by scientists from the University of Valencia sheds new light on how the cockroach organism works.

Xenobiotic Metabolism In Animals
A compound foreign to a given organism is known as xenobiotic, e.g. Medicinal drugs, agricultural chemicals, industrial chemicals and environmental contaminants.

cAMP potentiates InsP3-induced Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum in blowfly salivary glands
Serotonin induces fluid secretion from Calliphora salivary glands by the parallel activation of the InsP3/Ca2+ and cAMP signaling pathways.

Male silver eels mature by swimming
If European silver eels are prevented from reproductive migration, they remain in a prepubertal stage by dopaminergic inhibition of pituitary activity.

Death by garbage
New studies have provided evidence for a theory that garbage is a key cause of aging and death.
