A molecular filter for the cnidarian stinging response
eLife, 2020 All animals detect and integrate diverse environmental signals to mediate behavior. Cnidarians, including jellyfish and sea anemones, both detect and capture prey using stinging cells called nematocytes which fire a venom-covered barb via an unknown ...

Toxicon: X, 2022 Cnidarians (jellyfish, hydroids, sea anemones, and corals) possess a unique method for venom production, maintenance, and deployment through a decentralized system composed of different types of venom-filled stinging structures called nematocysts.

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 ![Figure][1] The group Cnidaria, which includes jellyfish, anemones, corals and the familiar freshwater Hydra , is not generally known for its speed. In fact, it was only in the mid 18th century that they were first accepted as animals by biologists, having been categorized alongside ...

Distinct cellular expression pattern of annexins in Hydra vulgaris. [PDF]
, 1992 The annexins are a structurally related family of Ca2+ and phospholipid binding proteins whose function has not been clearly defined. Further investigations of annexin function may be enhanced by studying simpler organisms that express fewer annexin gene

On the nematocysts of Æolids [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, 1904 While I was at Plymouth in July, 1902, Mr. W. Garstang suggested that I should investigate the origin of the nematocysts found in Æolids. He pointed out that no adequate account of their development had been published, and that the view held by some that they were derived from the Coelenterate prey of the Æolids had never been properly tested.

Fluid Dynamics of Ballistic Strategies in Nematocyst Firing
Fluids, 2020 Nematocysts are stinging organelles used by members of the phylum Cnidaria (e.g., jellyfish, anemones, hydrozoans) for a variety of important functions including capturing prey and defense. Nematocysts are the fastest-known accelerating structures in the
