Specific immune priming in the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]
, 2013 Specific immune priming enables an induced immune response upon repeated pathogen encounter. As a functional analogue to vertebrate immune memory, such adaptive plasticity has been described, for instance, in insects and crustaceans. However, towards the

Aggregations of a Sessile Ctenophore, Coeloplana sp., on Indo-West Pacific Gorgonians
Diversity, 2023 We document the benthic ctenophores Coeloplana sp. and Vallicula multiformis from Oman, extending their geographic range. A new Coeloplana species was found forming aggregations on gorgonians of two octocoral host genera, Melithaea and Euplexaura ...

Planktonic Ctenophora of the Madeira archipelago (Northeastern Atlantic).
Zootaxa, 2021 Ctenophores are fragile gelatinous organisms whose diversity and distribution are relatively unknown. For the first time, the occurrence of four planktonic species, namelyOcyropsis crystallina,Eurhamphaea vexilligera, Cestum veneris,andBeroe sp., was ...

Collagen IV and basement membrane at the evolutionary dawn of metazoan tissues
eLife, 2017 The role of the cellular microenvironment in enabling metazoan tissue genesis remains obscure. Ctenophora has recently emerged as one of the earliest-branching extant animal phyla, providing a unique opportunity to explore the evolutionary role of the ...

Expression and phylogenetic analysis of the zic gene family in the evolution and development of metazoans [PDF]
, 2010 Background zic genes are members of the gli/glis/nkl/zic super-family of C2H2 zinc finger (ZF) transcription factors. Homologs of the zic family have been implicated in patterning neural and mesodermal tissues in bilaterians ...
