Journal of Biological Research, 2021 Some species of Cnidarians, well known venomous organisms, are able to induce serious health problems as well as economic and social trouble. A lot of data show that cnidarian venoms can be cytotoxic to cultured cells.

A Review of Toxins from Cnidaria
Marine Drugs, 2020 Cnidarians have been known since ancient times for the painful stings they induce to humans. The effects of the stings range from skin irritation to cardiotoxicity and can result in death of human beings.

TREATMENT OF CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS WITH JELLYFISH STING AND RELATED RISK FACTORS [PDF]
精准医学杂志, 2023 Jellyfish sting is a common problem in coastal areas around the world. Jellyfish toxin has strong toxicity and great harm, with uncontrollable onset time in patients after sting. The number of critically ill patients suffering from anaphylactic shock due

Variability of cnidae within a small clonal sea anemone (Isactinia sp.)
Invertebrate Biology, Volume 142, Issue 4, December 2023., 2023 Abstract The cnidom and intraspecific variability of cnidae within the small sea anemone Isactinia sp. were verified. The specific cnidae within the cnidom of four discrete morphological structures (tentacle, actinopharynx, mesenterial filaments, and body column) within Isactinia sp. was investigated.

On the paradox of thriving cold‐water coral reefs in the food‐limited deep sea
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 1768-1795, October 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT The deep sea is amongst the most food‐limited habitats on Earth, as only a small fraction (<4%) of the surface primary production is exported below 200 m water depth. Here, cold‐water coral (CWC) reefs form oases of life: their biodiversity compares with tropical coral reefs, their biomass and metabolic activity exceed other deep‐sea ...

Non‐seed plants are emerging gene sources for agriculture and insect control proteins
The Plant Journal, Volume 116, Issue 1, Page 23-37, October 2023., 2023 SUMMARY The non‐seed plants (e.g., charophyte algae, bryophytes, and ferns) have multiple human uses, but their contributions to agriculture and research have lagged behind seed plants. While sharing broadly conserved biology with seed plants and the major crops, non‐seed plants sometimes possess alternative molecular and physiological adaptations ...

Global patterns and drivers of genetic diversity among marine habitat‐forming species
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 7, Page 1218-1229, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Intraspecific genetic diversity is one of the pillars of biodiversity, supporting the resilience and evolutionary potential of populations. Yet, our knowledge regarding the patterns of genetic diversity at macroecological scales, so‐called macrogenetic patterns, remains scarce, particularly in marine species.

Neuropeptides and degenerin/epithelial Na+ channels: a relationship from mammals to cnidarians
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1583-1595, 1 May 2023., 2023 Abstract figure legend Several degenerin (DEG)/epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) ion channels interact with neuropeptides. Some DEG/ENaCs from vertebrates, including humans, are modulated by neuropeptides, whereas others, from bilaterian invertebrates and cnidarians, are directly activated by them. For modulation, neuropeptides [here, RFamides (RFa)] bind,

The diverse functions of the DEG/ENaC family: linking genetic and physiological insights
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1521-1542, 1 May 2023., 2023 Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of the diverse modulators and stimuli that influence DEG/ENaC function (blue arrows) and the diverse range of functions in which they have been implicated (green arrows), in an array of animals, exemplified by those depicted.

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 382-395, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Species identification is pivotal in biodiversity assessments and proteomic fingerprinting by MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry has already been shown to reliably identify calanoid copepods to species level. However, MALDI‐TOF data may contain more information beyond mere species identification.
