The Role of Cnidocytes in Transdermal Drug Delivery: A Systematic Review
Cnidaria is a water-dwelling phylum characterized by a cnidocyte stinging cell. In nature, cnidocytes are used to immobilize or “sting” prey, for defense, and for locomotion, but their mechanisms also hold implications for drug delivery. Oral drug delivery has limitations that warrant new drug delivery techniques. One prominent method, transdermal drug

Chemoreceptors Regulate Discharge of Microbasic p-mastigophores in the Sea Anemone, AIPTASIA PALLIDA [PDF]
, 1988 Recently, using cnida-mediated measurements of adhesive force, Thorington and Hessinger (1984, 1988a, b) identified two different chemoreceptors involved in triggering cnida discharge on the tentacles of the sea anemone, Aiptasia pallida.

Neuroactive compounds induce larval settlement in the scleractinian coral Leptastrea purpurea [PDF]
, 2019 Settlement of pelagic coral larvae is commonly induced by chemical cues that originate from biofilms and coralline algae. These natural settlement cues initiate signal pathways leading to attachment and metamorphosis of the coral larva.

The potential impacts of exploratory drilling and aquaculture wastes on cold-water cnidarians with a focus on cold-water corals [PDF]
The study of anthropogenic impacts on benthic fauna, including cold-water corals (CWC), has increased in recent decades, but the state of knowledge fails to keep up with the rapid expansion of industry in the marine environment.
