Effect of Temperature on Biochemical and Cellular Properties of Captive Limulus polyphemus

, 2012
The maintenance of horseshoe crabs in culture is being explored to address the recent decline of the species. While a number of indicators have been used to monitor the health status of the horseshoe crabs, the limited success of culture methods suggests

Circular dichroism of limulin: Limulus Polyphemus lectin [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1978
The lectin of Limulus polyphemus hemolymph has been isolated by preparative ultracentrifugation and starch gel electrophoresis [ 1,2] and by DEAE-- Sephadex and gel filtration [ 3] . With these techniques, the purification factor was in the range 20-~80.

Extracellular Vesicles in Arthropods: Biogenesis, Functions, Isolation Methods and Applications

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound nanoparticles secreted by cells that are involved in multiple forms of intercellular communication and show promising potential for biotechnological applications. Arthropod‐derived EV research remains relatively fragmented in contrast to the extensively studied mammalian EV field. In this review,

Intensive use of an intertidal mudflat by foraging adult American horseshoe crabs Limulus polyphemus in the Great Bay estuary, New Hampshire

Current Zoology, 2010
Although concerns about harvesting levels of the American Horseshoe Crab, Limulus polyphemus have prompted increased research into its ecology, current understanding of the species’ foraging ecology is mostly limited to mid-Atlantic populations.

Allometric Changes Across Horseshoe Crab Moults Evidence Developmentally Controlled Ecological Shifts and Possible Exoskeletal Modularity

Evolution &Development, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2025.
This study explores allometric patterns in Limulus polyphemus, highlighting non‐isometric growth in prosoma across moults. These reflect adaptations related to changes in borrowing, offering insights into the evolutionary success of horseshoe crabs and contributing to broader understanding of xiphosuran development.

The draft genome of horseshoe crab Tachypleus tridentatus reveals its evolutionary scenario and well-developed innate immunity

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Horseshoe crabs are ancient marine arthropods with a long evolutionary history extending back approximately 450 million years, which may benefit from their innate immune systems.

Bioactive Ingredients, Functions, and Development Strategies of Phascolosoma esculenta—An Edible Marine Organism: A Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2025.
Phascolosoma esculenta is an invertebrate living in the ocean's intertidal zone, belonging to the phylum Sipuncula, and is often cooked as a delicious snack in China's coastal areas. It is often referred to as the “sea ginseng” because of its high nutritional value and the efficacy of enhancing endurance.

Developmental ecology of the American horseshoe crab Limulus polyphemus

Current Zoology, 2010
During spawning events, horseshoe crab eggs are released from the female’s oviducts, and fertilized by one or more males. Eggs are shaped by the female into discrete clutches deposited in nests at depths of 10-20 cm on intertidal estuarine beaches ...

Towards a Conceptual Framework to Better Understand the Advantages and Limitations of Model Organisms

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 61, Issue 7, April 2025.
We suggest that model organisms (MO) can be conceived as tools that enable scientists to learn about one species by investigating another. This approach depends on the similarity between the MO and its target organism (TO) that allows the transfer of information between species.

Bird's eye view of natural products for the development of new anti‐HIV agents: Understanding from a therapeutic viewpoint

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 441-457, March 2025.
Development of pharmaceutical drugs to cure HIV is crucial due to the current widespread epidemic. Nucleosides are the most effective anti‐HIV drugs, but their high toxicity and drug resistance limit their use. This review focuses on potential natural medicinal products for treating and managing HIV and AIDS.
