Immunology &Cell Biology, Volume 94, Issue 9, Page 861-874, October 2016., 2016 The purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) genome sequence contains a complex repertoire of genes encoding innate immune recognition proteins and homologs of important vertebrate immune regulatory factors. To characterize how this immune system is deployed within an experimentally tractable, intact animal, we investigate the immune ...

The Immune Response of Acanthaster planci to Oxbile Injections and Antibiotic Treatment
Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Bile salts have been recently identified as a rapid and effective method for killing A. planci. However the mechanistic basis of this new control method is poorly understood. This study explored the immune response(s) of A. planci and/or pathogenesis resulting from the injection of bile salts. To account for the possible role of pathogenesis in causing

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 One of the polyketide compounds, the naphthoquinone pigment echinochrome, is synthesized in sea urchin pigment cells. We analyzed polyketide synthase (pks) and sulfotransferase (sult) gene expression in embryos and larvae of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius from various stages of development and in specific tissues of the adults.

Feed From Waste: A Circular Economy Approach for Sea Urchin Aquaculture
Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Marine organisms offer a vast and still underutilized reservoir of biomolecules and biomaterials with promising applications across various human sectors. Among them, sea urchins—such as Paracentrotus lividus—stand out due to their high content of biogenic carbonates, making them particularly relevant within circular economy strategies and blue growth ...
