Terrestrial gastropods secrete mucus from the body surface, when they move, to protect the body against mechanical injury, desiccation or contact with harmful substances. Mollusk mucus has been studied as a source of new natural compounds with biological properties, including their antiviral capacity. Studies involving P. boraceiensis mucus have elucidated the presence of carboxylic acids…
Terrestrial gastropods exude mucus by the body surface, when traveling, to protect its body from mechanical injury, desiccation or contact with harmful substances. Mucus of molluscs has been studied as a source of new natural compounds with diverse biological activities, as ability to induce cell proliferation. Human fibroblasts treated with 0.012 mg/µl of Phyllocaulis boraceiensis mucus …
