Taiwan group elucidates the evolutionary process of cement proteins secreted by barnacles
https://www.sinica.edu.tw/en/News_Content/36/1841 A research team led by Benny K.K. Chan of Academia Sinica has conducted microdissection, transcriptome, shotgun proteomics, and immunohistochemistry of larval cement glands to identify turtle barnacles that attach to sea turtles. We successfully identified 30 types of larval cement proteins and 27 types of adult cement proteins of Chelonibia testudinaria. The results showed […]
