1. Shell repair as a response to attempted predation in some Palaeozoic and younger gastropods
Abstract : Traces of unsuccessful predatory attacks can be found in the hard parts of shell-bearing organisms as repaired shell injuries and are often preserved in the fossil record. These repaired shell injuries can help to deduce the relationship between predator and prey in the past. READ MORE

3. Development and repair of cataract induced by ultraviolet radiation
Abstract : Background: Several epidemiological investigations show a correlation between cataract development and the dose of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) received. It is experimentally well established that exposure of animal eyes to UVR induces cataract. Most cataracts develop as a gradual increase in lens opacity. READ MORE

4. Quantum Chemical Studies of Protein-Bound Chromophores, UV-Light Induced DNA Damages, and Lignin Formation
Abstract : Quantum chemical methods have been used to provide a better understanding of the photochemistry of astaxanthin and phytochromobilin; the photoenzymic repair of UV-light induced DNA damages; and the formation of lignin. The carotenoid astaxanthin (AXT) is responsible for the colouration of lobster shell. READ MORE

5. Evolution and ecology of Baltic late Ordovician univalved molluscs
Abstract : Univalved molluscs (Gastropoda and Tergomya) are common fossils in the Palaeozoic succession across Baltoscandia, but most of the more embracive descriptive works on this group appeared before or near the turn of the 19th century. The study presented here aims at revision and description of some Baltoscandian late Ordovician/early Silurian univalved molluscs with emphasis on their shell morphology. READ MORE
