Development, Growth &Differentiation, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 119-135, April 2025.Using antibodies raised against in vitro cultured cells, we determined the property of coral larval cells. Neuronal cells, ectoderm cells, and endoderm cells were characterized. Abstract In previous studies, we have established approximately 15 cultured cell‐lines derived from planula larvae of Acropora tenuis.

Lifeguard assistance at Spanish Mediterranean beaches: Jellyfish prevail and proposals for improving risk management [PDF]
, 2016 Although beaches can be hazardous environments, few studies have identified injuries in broad coastal areas. We performed a retrospective descriptive study of injuries and other services provided by lifeguards during 2012 along the Spanish Mediterranean ...

Synergistic action of actinoporin isoforms from the same sea anemone species assembled into functionally active heteropores [PDF]
, 2016 Among the toxic polypeptides secreted in the venom of sea anemones, actinoporins are pore forming toxins whose toxic activity relies on the formation of oligomeric pores within biological membranes. Intriguingly, actinoporins appear as multigene families

Evidence of cytotoxic activity against mammalian red blood cell of Na+ channel neurotoxin (AE1) from sea anemone (actinia equina) [PDF]
, 2016 The diversification of anthozoan toxins played an important role in the ability to colonize various ecological niches. In this study we evaluated the hemolytic activity of HPLC separated fraction of tentacle extracts of sea anemone Actinia equina.

POTENTIAL USEFULNESS OF PLANT EXTRACTS TO COUNTERACT CNIDARIAN VENOMS
, 2021 Cnidarians toxins are known to have a high impact on public health in marine coastal zones the world over. Consequently these toxins are now recognised as an important focus for research on their therapeutic potential. To date several therapeutically important activities have been experimentally identified in cnidarian extracts and venoms. However, the

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.

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.

Upside-Down but Headed in the Right Direction: Review of the Highly Versatile Cassiopea xamachana System [PDF]
, 2018 The upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) has been predominantly studied to understand its interaction with the endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae Symbiodinium. As an easily culturable and tractable cnidarian model, it is an

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 ...
