Small RNAs in Cnidaria: A review
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 As fundamental components of RNA silencing, small RNA (sRNA) molecules ranging from 20 to 32 nucleotides in length have been found as potent regulators of gene expression and genome stability in many biological processes of eukaryotes.

Current Progress in Lipidomics of Marine Invertebrates
Marine Drugs, 2021 Marine invertebrates are a paraphyletic group that comprises more than 90% of all marine animal species. Lipids form the structural basis of cell membranes, are utilized as an energy reserve by all marine invertebrates, and are, therefore, considered ...

Cnidarian Immunity and the Repertoire of Defense Mechanisms in Anthozoans
Biology, 2020 Anthozoa is the most specious class of the phylum Cnidaria that is phylogenetically basal within the Metazoa. It is an interesting group for studying the evolution of mutualisms and immunity, for despite their morphological simplicity, Anthozoans are ...

The colonial cnidarian Hydractinia [PDF]
EvoDevo, 2020 AbstractHydractinia, a genus of colonial marine cnidarians, has been used as a model organism for developmental biology and comparative immunology for over a century. It was this animal where stem cells and germ cells were first studied. However, protocols for efficient genetic engineering have only recently been established by a small but interactive ...

Transcriptional analyses provide new insight into the late-stage immune response of a diseased Caribbean coral [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Increasing global temperatures due to climate change have resulted in respective increases in the severity and frequency of epizootics around the globe. Corals in particular have faced rapid declines due to disease outbreaks.

Cnidarian internal stinging mechanism [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008 Stinging mechanisms generally deliver venomous compounds to external targets. However, nematocysts, the microscopic stinging organelles that are common to all members of the phylum Cnidaria, occur and act in both external and internal tissue structures. This is the first report of such an internal piercing mechanism.
