Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 2, Page 45-58, March 2025.This work used the model EmbryoMaker to explore the most basic set of morphologies that can be produced from spherical initial conditions by activating cell properties and behaviors in simple genetic territories. We found five possible morphogenetic transformations: invagination, evagination, elongation, condensation and anisotropic growth.

The Journal of biological chemistry, 2014 The box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri produces extremely potent and rapid-acting venom that is harmful to humans and lethal to prey. Here, we describe the characterization of two C. fleckeri venom proteins, CfTX-A (∼40 kDa) and CfTX-B (∼42 kDa), which were isolated from C.

Origin and evolution of microvilli
Biology of the Cell, Volume 116, Issue 11, November 2024.Microvilli are widespread organelles of animal cells that frequently play a role in sensation and feeding. Ansel et al. reconstitute their origin and evolution by performing a broad morphological survey of microvilli in animals and their unicellular relatives, coupled with a bioinformatic study of the phylogenetic distribution of the main microvillar ...

Snake Venoms in Drug Discovery: Valuable Therapeutic Tools for Life Saving
, 2019 Animal venoms are used as defense mechanisms or to immobilize and digest prey. In fact, venoms are complex mixtures of enzymatic and non-enzymatic components with specific pathophysiological functions.

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2014 BackgroundMillepora complanata is a plate-like fire coral common throughout the Caribbean. Contact with this species usually provokes burning pain, erythema and urticariform lesions. Our previous study suggested that the aqueous extract of M.

eDNA Is a Useful Environmental Monitoring Tool for Assessing Stream Ecological Health
Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 4, July–August 2024.Ecosystem health assessments made by traditional biomonitoring techniques were compared to those made using eDNA at 53 sites throughout New Zealand. We found a high degree of correlation and convergence between biotic indices calculated from traditional biomonitoring techniques and from eDNA.
