La UVigo logra criopreservar un gusano marino que sirve de modelo en estudios de neurociencia y desarrollo

La UVigo ha establecido el primer protocolo para criopreservar un gusano marino que forma parte de la fauna de las rías gallegas y cuya utilización como modelo para estudios de neurociencia, desarrollo y biología evolutiva va en aumento en todo el mundo. El logro es fruto de la colaboración entre investigadoras del Centro de Investigación Mariña (CIM) y expertos del Max Perutz Labs (Universidad de Viena) que cuentan con un biobanco de la especie Platynereis dumerilii para sus trabajos.

I'm researching carnivorous sea snails, especially Syrinx aruanus, and cannot figure out how they capture and eat polychaete worms. They have a proboscis but nowhere can I determine how they use it. Can any gastropod experts help me? Thanks! #gastropods #SeaSnail #polychaeteworms
