The Complement System of Agnathans [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Agnathans (lamprey and hagfish) are a group of primitive jawless fish. Jawed vertebrates possess adaptive immunity including immunoglobulins, while agnathans lack immunoglobulins but have alternative adaptive immunity in which variable lymphocyte ...

Evolution of the brain developmental plan: Insights from agnathans
Developmental Biology, 2005 In vertebrate evolution, the brain exhibits both conserved and unique morphological features in each animal group. Thus, the molecular program of nervous system development is expected to have experienced various changes through evolution. In this review, we discuss recent data from the agnathan lamprey (jawless vertebrate) together with available ...

Expression of Urocortin 3 mRNA in the Central Nervous System of the Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus
Biology, 2021 In this study, we analyzed the organization of urocortin 3 (Ucn3)-expressing neuronal populations in the brain of the adult sea lamprey by means of in situ hybridization.

Hydrodynamic performance of psammosteids: New insights from computational fluid dynamics simulations [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019 The shape of dermal armor protecting the body in the Paleozoic agnathans such as the Heterostaci has an important hydrodynamic role in providing lift or drag force generation.

The Natterin Proteins Diversity: A Review on Phylogeny, Structure, and Immune Function
Toxins, 2021 Since the first record of the five founder members of the group of Natterin proteins in the venom of the medically significant fish Thalassophryne nattereri, new sequences have been identified in other species.
