TL;DR: Investigations revealed major differences in cell distribution related to scaffold density, pore size and architecture, which support the differentiated stage of chondrocytes by preventing the fibroblast-like and polygonal cell shape, at least briefly.

TL;DR: The present results for Helix pomatia show a clear difference in the number of glands compared to the related species Helix aspersa (only four mucus glands); histochemically, the glands of both species similarly produce acidic proteins as well as acidic glycosaminoglycans.

TL;DR: Histological, histochemical and ultrastructural methods were applied to elucidate the nature of secretion of the epithelial cells of three Idiosepius species, suggesting that adhesion and release are not effected by a “duo-gland” adhesive system as in Euprymna scolopes.

TL;DR: The results strongly indicate that the secretions of both gland types from the dorsal as well as the ventral side form the adhesive mucus in Plethodon shermani, consisting of basic and acidic glycoproteins, glycoconjugates with mannose and α-L-fucose residues aswell as lipid components.

TL;DR: The results reveal the effectiveness of the analytical spectroscopy coupled to the wet chemistry approach as a tool in the analysis of metal–microbial interactions and microbial cultivation on supramolecular self-assemblages based on inorganic metal clusters.
