Background: Nacre, the iridescent material found in pearls and shells of molluscs, is formed through an extraordinary process of matrix-assisted biomineralization. Despite recent advances, many aspects of the biominerali...
Pearl oyster Pinctada martensii is cultured for production of pearl in China. It needs to implant a mantle graft cut from a donor oyster and a seed nucleus into the gonad of the host oyster to produce a pearl. Pearl sac ...

Similar to other marine bivalves, Pinctada maxima shows unsynchronized growth, but the underlying metabolic mechanisms have not been studied. In this study, gold-lipped pearl oyster P. maxima from cultured stocks were se...
Natural disasters and environmental pollution are the main problems for traditional offshore culture. Pearl oyster culture through industrial farming can prevent these difficulties, but food availability is limited. In t...
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in immune responses. In this study, we identified 57 IL-17 genes from the genomes of six marine invertebrates, including Pinctada fucata m...
