Population Specific Adaptations in Venom Production to Abiotic Stressors in a Widely Distributed Cnidarian [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2020 Abstract Nematostella vectensis is a sea anemone (Actiniaria, Cnidaria) inhabiting estuaries over a broad geographic range where environmental conditions such as temperatures and salinity vary widely.

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.

Toxins, 2022 Sea anemones produce venoms characterized by a complex mixture of low molecular weight compounds, proteins and peptides acting on voltage-gated ion channels. Mammal sperm cells, like neurons, are characterized by their ion channels. Calcium channels seem

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 ...

Ancient Venom Systems: A Review on Cnidaria Toxins
Toxins, 2015 Cnidarians are the oldest extant lineage of venomous animals. Despite their simple anatomy, they are capable of subduing or repelling prey and predator species that are far more complex and recently evolved. Utilizing specialized penetrating nematocysts,

Proteomic Analysis of the Venom of Jellyfishes Rhopilema esculentum and Sanderia malayensis
Marine Drugs, 2020 Venomics, the study of biological venoms, could potentially provide a new source of therapeutic compounds, yet information on the venoms from marine organisms, including cnidarians (sea anemones, corals, and jellyfish), is limited.
