Sea anemone model has a single Toll-like receptor that can function in pathogen detection, NF-κB signal transduction, and development [PDF]
In organisms from insects to vertebrates, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are primary pathogen detectors that activate downstream pathways, specifically those that direct expression of innate immune effector genes.

A new gorgonian genus from deep-sea Antarctic waters (Octocorallia, Alcyonacea, Plexauridae) [PDF]
Mesogligorgia scotiae gen. nov., sp. nov. is described and illustrated from a colony collected in the Scotia Sea, 2,201–2,213 m in depth, on the ANDEEP-I cruise. The new taxon is placed in the family Plexauridae because of: 1) the presence of a horny
