💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐌🫧 The grove snail secretes five distinct kinds of #mucus from a shared #protein base.
German researchers found that #collagen IV and @calcium work together, cross-linking into networks of varying density to give each #slime different mechanical properties. Lab work, from cryo-scanning electron #microscopy to #proteomics, unpacks the #chemistry behind each output.
