predatory marine snails that live mostly in shallow, tropical waters around the globe. Their cone-shaped shells are ...

AI helps scientists decode a cone snail toxin’s targets, paving the way for safer drug development and ecological research.

An investigation of the cone snail toxin has led to the development of a new method for studying molecular interactions.

When scientists develop new molecules—whether for the purposes of agriculture, species control, or life-saving drugs—it's ...

Researchers have found that cone snail toxins can be a good model for AI simulations of molecular interactions.

University of Queensland researchers have reared deadly cone snails in a laboratory aquarium for the first time, uncovering a potential treasure trove of new venoms for drug development.

Their catches turned out to contain Conus geographus, a marine mollusk that produces some of the most potent venom of any cone snail species. The ultimate cause of death, then, seemed clear. But the ...

While considered a delicacy in some parts of the world, snails have found a more intriguing use to scientists and the medical profession offering a plethora of research possibilities. Cone snails are ...
