    Recently, Liu Baozhong's research team from the Key Laboratory of Experimental Marine Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made new progress in the early developmental mechanism of mollusk shells, discovering and confirming that the actin - myosin-dependent cytoskeleton system plays a key role in the early development of mollusk shells


     

    The shell, as the primary protective structure, is a key characteristic of mollusks


     

    Based on this, the team focused on this molecule and its interacting molecule NM II (myosin) for in-depth research


     

    This research is mainly completed by Liu Xinyu, a 2019 master and doctoral student, Yang Weihong, a 2017 master student, and researcher Huan Pin.


     

    After inhibiting the function of myosin, the shell formation area is abnormally morphological and the development of the shell is blocked
