Gasdermins(GSDMs)are proteins cleaved by caspase(CASP)to trigger pyroptosis.In teleosts,pyroptosis is mediated by gasdermin E(GSDME).The Pufferfish,Takifugu rubripes,possesses two GSDME orthologs:named TrGSDMEa and Tr...

When faced with danger,pufferfish react with both a fast-start escape response and inflation behavior.The neural basis of these stress responses in the pufferfish has not been described.The present study reveals that ...
The pufferfish Lagocephalus sceleratus is an invasive Lessepsian species of Indo-Pacific origin that has established an increasing population over the past decade in the Levantine basin of the Mediterranean. Besides i...
Voltage-dependent sodium channels are critical for electrical excitability.Invertebrates possess a single sodium channel gene;two rounds of genome duplication early in vertebrates increased the number to four.Since th...
