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.

Distinct cellular expression pattern of annexins in Hydra vulgaris. [PDF]
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]
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.

Immunocompetence in Hydra. Epithelial cells recognize self-nonself and react against it [PDF]
The evolution of effective immunologic defense mechanisms in multicellular organisms involves the ability of host cells to distinguish betweeen self and nonself and to react appropriately to eliminate foreign tissue.
