Minicollagen cysteine-rich domains encode distinct modes of polymerization to form stable nematocyst capsules [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 The stinging capsules of cnidarians, nematocysts, function as harpoon-like organelles with unusual biomechanical properties. The nanosecond discharge of the nematocyst requires a dense protein network of the capsule structure withstanding an internal ...

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 ...

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 ...

To Pee, or Not to Pee: A Review on Envenomation and Treatment in European Jellyfish Species
Marine Drugs, 2016 There is a growing cause for concern on envenoming European species because of jellyfish blooms, climate change and globalization displacing species. Treatment of envenomation involves the prevention of further nematocyst release and relieving local and ...
