Adhesive secretion has a fundamental role in barnacles&rsquo
survival, keeping them in an adequate position on the substrate under a variety of hydrologic regimes. It arouses special interest for industrial applications, such as antifouling stra

Biological control of key processes, such as development and reproduction, is largely ascribed to a superfamily of ligand-dependent and independent transcription factors named Nuclear Receptors (NRs). Given their ability to accommodate ligands, NRs a
