Cell cooperation in coelomocyte cytotoxic activity of Paracentrotus lividus coelomocytes [PDF]
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2007 The coelomic fluid from the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus contains several coelomocyte types including amoebocytes and uncoloured spherulocytes involved in immune defences.

Transcriptomic dataset of two types of coelomocytes from Ophelia limacina (Rathke, 1843)ENAZenodo [PDF]
Data in BriefCoelomocytes are a group of specific cells found in the coeloms of invertebrate animals. They perform a variety of functions including immune response, storage, detoxification, and transport of different compounds.

Earthworm coelomocytes as nanoscavenger of ZnO NPs [PDF]
Nanoscale Research Letters, 2014 Earthworms can ‘biotransform’ or ‘biodegrade’ chemical contaminants, rendering them harmless in their bodies, and can bioaccumulate them in their tissues. They ‘absorb’ the dissolved chemicals through their moist ‘body wall’ due to the interstitial water

Carotenoid-based immune response in sea cucumbers relies on newly identified coelomocytes—the carotenocytes [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologySea cucumbers are marine deuterostomes possessing a complex innate immune system composed of a wide diversity of immune cells—coelomocytes—making them compelling models for exploring the evolution of immunity.

UVB-induced genotoxic stress activates the DNA damage response and innate immune pathways in sea urchin coelomocytes [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyMechanistic crosstalk between the DNA-damage response (DDR) and the innate immune system is essential to maintain genomic integrity, tissue homeostasis, and organismal resilience.

In Search of the Role of Three-Finger Starfish Proteins [PDF]
Marine DrugsThree-finger proteins (TFPs), or Ly6/uPAR proteins, are characterized by the beta-structural LU domain containing three protruding “fingers” and stabilized by four conserved disulfide bonds.

Recombinant SpTransformer proteins bind to specific sites on sea urchin phagocytes and modulate SpTransformer gene expression and immune responsiveness [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionThe California purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, relies exclusively on an innate immune system to survive in its pathogen rich marine environment. Central to this defense is the SpTransformer (SpTrf) gene family that is unique

Bioinformatics analyses of the proteome of Holothuria tubulosa coelomic fluid and the first evidence of primary cilium in coelomocyte cells [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyThe holothurian immune system is characterized by complex defense mechanisms that act through humoral and cellular pathways. Coelomocites are the cellular component of coelomic fluid, and they are involved in host defense, stress response, wound healing,

Diversity of coelomocytes in the class Echinoidea (Echinodermata): A comparative study based on morphological evidence [PDF]
Comparative Immunology ReportsEchinoidea is, by far, the most known echinoderm class regarding the coelomocytes and their physiological functions. However, a careful examination shows that most data deal with regular echinoids (sea urchins), leaving a gap regarding the irregular ...
