Extracellular Matrix of Echinoderms
Marine Drugs, 2023 This review considers available data on the composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in echinoderms. The connective tissue in these animals has a rather complex organization.

Cells, 2021 Echinoderms are one of the most ancient groups of invertebrates. The study of their genomes has made it possible to conclude that these animals have a wide variety of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs ...

Plated Cambrian Bilaterians Reveal the Earliest Stages of Echinoderm Evolution
PLoS ONE, 2012 Echinoderms are unique in being pentaradiate, having diverged from the ancestral bilaterian body plan more radically than any other animal phylum. This transformation arises during ontogeny, as echinoderm larvae are initially bilateral, then pass through

Vibrio splendidus Flagellin C-Induced Extracellular Trap Release Relies on AjTLR2 Recognition in Apostichopus japonicus [PDF]
BiomoleculesExtracellular traps (ETs) are a novel host defense mechanism used to immobilize and eliminate invading microorganisms, and their formation depends on the recognition of foreign pathogens by membrane receptors.

Machinery and Developmental Role of Retinoic Acid Signaling in Echinoderms
Cells, 2022 Although a recent genomic survey revealed its ancient evolutionary origin in the animal kingdom, retinoic acid (RA) signaling was previously thought to be unique to chordates.

Current Progress in Lipidomics of Marine Invertebrates
Marine Drugs, 2021 Marine invertebrates are a paraphyletic group that comprises more than 90% of all marine animal species. Lipids form the structural basis of cell membranes, are utilized as an energy reserve by all marine invertebrates, and are, therefore, considered ...

Neurotoxicity in Marine Invertebrates: An Update
Biology, 2021 Invertebrates represent about 95% of existing species, and most of them belong to aquatic ecosystems. Marine invertebrates are found at intermediate levels of the food chain and, therefore, they play a central role in the biodiversity of ecosystems ...

DNA Barcoding of Cold-Water Coral-Associated Ophiuroid Fauna from the North Atlantic
Diversity, 2022 In this study we focus on the ophiuroid species associated with cold-water corals south of Iceland. The specimens were sampled with the ROV Phoca (GEOMAR) in three different areas, during the recent expedition MSM75 connected to the IceAGE_RR (Icelandic ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Species retaining ancestral features, such as species called living fossils, are often regarded as less derived than their sister groups, but such discussions are usually based on qualitative enumeration of conserved traits. This approach creates a major
