Immunology &Cell Biology, Volume 103, Issue 1, Page 45-59, January 2025.Sea urchins are basal deuterostomes that share key molecular components of innate immunity with humans, and are a powerful model for the study of innate immunity. Here we characterize the morphology and associated molecular markers of immune cell types in a newly developed model sea urchin, Lytechinus pictus.

Pigment Cell Differentiation in Sea Urchin Blastula-Derived Primary Cell Cultures
Marine Drugs, 2014 The quinone pigments of sea urchins, specifically echinochrome and spinochromes, are known for their effective antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and antitumor activities. We developed in vitro technology for inducing pigment differentiation in cell

Echinochrome A Release by Red Spherule Cells Is an Iron-Withholding Strategy of Sea Urchin Innate Immunity [PDF]
, 2018 Cellular immune defences in sea urchins are shared amongst the coelomocytes – a heterogeneous population of cells residing in the coelomic fluid (blood equivalent) and tissues. The most iconic coelomocyte morphotype is the red spherule cell (or amebocyte)
