A temporal investigation of Europe-wide drivers of cockle Cerastoderma edule biology, health and population dynamics
… influence of climate. In terms of reproduction, cockles at warmer southern sites exhibited prolonged spawning. Additionally, growth was found to be reduced at warmer temperatures, likely due to a diversion of energy to gametogenesis. This highlights a potential impact on the growth and spawning …

Validation of shellfish isolates (glycosaminoglycans, GAGs) for development as a novel anti-tumour therapy for children : GAG action on lymphocytes/T-regulatory cells
… Phase 1 of the research isolated GAGs from cockles and whelks. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were extracted in bulk from whole blood from the NHS donor service. GAG isolates were tested for activity on cell growth using MTT assay on PBMCs (naïve and activated) and three cancer …
