The physiological stress response to amputation in the eleven-armed sea star (Coscinasterias muricata) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Zoology, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2016 The eleven-armed sea star, Coscinasterias muricata, is subject to human-induced stressors, such as invasive fishing activities, that can cause limb loss (amputation), and heavy metal discharge into their habitat.

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Efficient and beneficial food utilization calls for sustainable and innovative practices that add value at every stage of production. In this study, we conducted a computational analysis of protein sequences from the bivalve Mytilus galloprovincialis, the crustacean Penaeus vannamei (whiteleg shrimp), the purple sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, and ...

The effect of oxidative stress on phagocytosis and apoptosis in the earthworm Eisenia hortensis [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2010 The effect of exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H202) on phagocytic function and apoptosis in coelomocytes from Eisenia hortensis was investigated. Treating coelomocytes with H202 (0.26 to 8.4 mM) evoked a significant increase in phagocytosis for one or more ...

STUDIES ON HOLOTHURIAN COELOMOCYTES. I. A SURVEY OF COELOMOCYTE TYPES
The Biological Bulletin, 1963 1. The coelomocytes of eleven species of holothurians, representing four orders, were surveyed and described. Eight of these species have not before been surveyed for their coelomocyte contents.2. The results of the investigation indicate that holothurian coelomocytes fall into five basic categories: hemocytes, amoebocytes, morula calls, lymphocytes ...

David Garbers' Contributions to Chemotaxis Signaling in Sperm
Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 91, Issue 10, October 2024.ABSTRACT This review focuses on the contribution of the late David Garbers to chemotaxis of sperm, in particular from sea urchin. We will describe his discovery of chemotactic peptides and their cognate receptors, his discovery of a sperm‐specific, unique Na+/H+ exchanger that represents a chimera between a solute carrier (SLC) and an ion channel ...

Entomological Research, Volume 54, Issue 9, September 2024.Abstract Fas‐associated death domain protein (FADD) is an apoptotic adapter molecule that recruits caspases and facilitates the formation of death‐inducing signaling complexes in mammals. In lower animals, FADD forms a complex with immune deficiency and death‐related ced‐3/Nedd2‐like caspase to elicit antimicrobial responses.

Cadmium-Related Effects on Cellular Immunity Comprises Altered Metabolism in Earthworm Coelomocytes
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 The heavy metal cadmium (Cd) is known to modulate the immune system, challenging soil-dwelling organisms where environmental Cd pollution is high. Since earthworms lack adaptive immunity, we determined Cd-related effects on coelomocytes, the cellular ...
