The rise of the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis as a model system to investigate development and regeneration

WIREs Developmental Biology, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 408-428, July/August 2016., 2016
Reverse genetics and next‐generation sequencing unlocked a new era in biology. It is now possible to identify an animal(s) with the unique biology most relevant to a particular question and rapidly generate tools to functionally dissect that biology. This review highlights the rise of one such novel model system, the starlet sea anemone Nematostella ...

Water Flow Affects Zooplankton Feeding by the Scleractinian Coral Galaxea fascicularis on a Polyp and Colony Level

Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Several factors may affect heterotrophic feeding of benthic marine invertebrates, including water flow rate and polyp context (i.e., the presence of neighbouring polyps). We tested the interactive effects of water flow rate and polyp context on zooplankton feeding by the scleractinian coral Galaxea fascicularis.

A view to kill [PDF]

, 2012
Genome and proteome data from Hydra magnipapillata have opened the way for the molecular analysis of an ancient nervous system, which includes stinging cells, an unusual neurosensory and neurosecretory cell type.

A Network Approach to White Band Disease Challenged Staghorn Coral Acropora cervicornis microRNAs and Their Targets

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Our study looks at the association between microRNA expression and disease resistance in Caribbean staghorn corals infected with White Band Disease. We find three microRNAs differentially expressed due to disease resistance with putative targets involved in innate immunity.

Single-cell transcriptome sequencing reveals the cell populations and functions associated with stony coral Pocillopora damicornis

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionPocillopora damicornis, a key species of stony corals, has been the subject of considerable scientific study. However, the cellular composition of P.

The Evolution of Senses: My Research Journey into the Nervous System of Cnidaria [PDF]

, 2017
Our understanding of the evolutionary history of animals is improving, but knowledge of the ancient sensory systems that early animals used to interact with their environments is still largely unknown.

Haemolytic activity and characterization of nematocyst venom from Pelagia noctiluca (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) [PDF]

, 2013
We investigated the haemolytic capacity of the crude venom extracted from isolated nematocysts of Pelagia noctiluca (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa), and evidenced the proteic fractions responsible for this activity.

Varied effects of algal symbionts on transcription factor NF-κB in a sea anemone and a coral: possible roles in symbiosis and thermotolerance [PDF]

, 2019
Many cnidarians, including the reef-building corals, undergo symbiotic mutualisms with photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae of the family Symbiodiniaceae.

Coral Disease and Health Workshop: Coral Histopathology II [PDF]

, 2007
The health and continued existence of coral reef ecosystems are threatened by an increasing array of environmental and anthropogenic impacts. Coral disease is one of the prominent causes of increased mortality among reefs globally, particularly in the ...

Starvation decreases immunity and immune regulatory factor NF-κB in the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis [PDF]

, 2022
Lack of proper nutrition (malnutrition) or the complete absence of all food (starvation) have important consequences on the physiology of all organisms. In many cases, nutritional status affects immunity, but, for the most part, the relationship between ...
