A visual opsin from jellyfish enables precise temporal control of G protein signalling
Nature Communications, 2023 Phototransduction is mediated by distinct types of G protein cascades in different animal taxa: bilateral invertebrates typically utilise the Gαq pathway whereas vertebrates typically utilise the Gαt(i/o) pathway. By contrast, photoreceptors in jellyfish

Comparative Aspects of Structure and Function of Cnidarian Neuropeptides
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 Cnidarians are early-branching animals in the eukaryotic tree of life. The phylum Cnidaria are divided into five classes: Scyphozoa (true jellyfish), Cubozoa (box jellyfish), Hydrozoa (species, Hydra and Hydractinia), Anthozoa (sea anemone, corals, and ...

Transcriptome and venom proteome of the box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2015 The box jellyfish, Chironex fleckeri, is the largest and most dangerous cubozoan jellyfish to humans. It produces potent and rapid-acting venom and its sting causes severe localized and systemic effects that are potentially life-threatening. In this study, a combined transcriptomic and proteomic approach was used to identify C.

Cell proliferation in cubozoan jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora and Alatina moseri. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cubozoans (box jellyfish) undergo remarkable body reorganization throughout their life cycle when, first, they metamorphose from swimming larvae to sessile polyps, and second, through the metamorphosis from sessile polyps to free swimming medusae. In the

Dermatological Progression of a Probable Box Jellyfish Sting [PDF]
Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 2019 This case report describes the typical features of the dermatological progression of a patient stung by a (probable) box jellyfish. The purpose is to guide clinicians and patients to an understanding of what to expect after such a sting using the clinical narrative and unique sequential photographs of the injury.
