Industrial application of fish cartilaginous tissues
Cartilage is primarily composed of proteoglycans and collagen. Bioactive compounds derived from animal cartilage, such as chondroitin sulfate and type II collagen, have multiple bioactivities and are incorporated in popular health products.

Sequencing and analysis of full-length cDNAs, 5'-ESTs and 3'-ESTs from a cartilaginous fish, the elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii). [PDF]
Cartilaginous fishes are the most ancient group of living jawed vertebrates (gnathostomes) and are, therefore, an important reference group for understanding the evolution of vertebrates.

Myelin in cartilaginous fish. [PDF]
Myelin is probably one of the most fascinating and innovative biological acquisition: a glia plasma membrane tightly wrapped around an axon and insulating it. Chondrichthyans (cartilaginous fishes) form a large group of vertebrates, and they are among oldest extant jawed vertebrate lineage.

Updated checklist of Azores Chondrichthyes (Vertebrata: Gnathostomata) [PDF]
Several lists of marine fish from the Azores were published in the past. Most of those publications are difficult to access on line and several were not published in peer reviewed journals.This checklist updates all the chondrichthyan records for the ...

The immunoglobulins of cartilaginous fishes
Cartilaginous fishes, comprising the chimeras, sharks, skates, and rays, split from the common ancestor with other jawed vertebrates approx. 450 million years ago. Being the oldest extant taxonomic group to possess an immunoglobulin (Ig)-based adaptive immune system, examination of this group has taught us much about the evolution of adaptive immunity,

Revealing less derived nature of cartilaginous fish genomes with their evolutionary time scale inferred with nuclear genes. [PDF]
Cartilaginous fishes, divided into Holocephali (chimaeras) and Elasmoblanchii (sharks, rays and skates), occupy a key phylogenetic position among extant vertebrates in reconstructing their evolutionary processes. Their accurate evolutionary time scale is

Uncovering a 500 million year old history and evidence of pseudogenization for TLR15
IntroductionToll like receptors (TLRs) are at the front line of pathogen recognition and host immune response. Many TLR genes have been described to date with some being found across metazoans while others are restricted to specific lineages.
