Does zinc sulfate inhibit the in vitro cytotoxicity of crude toxin from Pelagia noctiluca?
Journal of Biological Research, 2011 The Scyphomedusa Pelagia noctiluca is known to be an harmful species able to cause contact dermatitis and also systemic symptoms in sensitive subjects. Taking into account that some compounds are known to be protective agents against jellyfish venoms, in

Transmission Electron Microscopy of Coral Tissue
Current Protocols, Volume 4, Issue 11, November 2024.Abstract Coral reefs are invaluable ecosystems that are under threat from various anthropogenic stressors. There has been a recent increase in the diagnostic tools utilized to understand how these threats impact coral reef health. Unfortunately, the application of diagnostic tools like transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is not as standardized or ...

THE TOXICITY OF PHYSALIA NEMATOCYSTS
The Biological Bulletin, 1958 The general composition and conditions of reactivity of the nematocysts and nematocyst contents of Physalia are described. A method is presented for isolation of nematocysts without contamination by other tentacular material. The nematocyst content appears to be a highly labile protein complex.

A single gene determines allorecognition in hydrozoan jellyfish Cladonema radiatum inbred lines
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 341, Issue 9, Page 1002-1020, November 2024.Abstract Allorecognition—the ability of an organism to discriminate between self and nonself—is crucial to colonial marine animals to avoid invasion by other individuals in the same habitat. The cnidarian hydroid Hydractinia has long been a major research model in studying invertebrate allorecognition, establishing a rich knowledge foundation.

The role of heterotrophic plasticity in coral response to natural low‐light environments
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.Low‐light environments are driving vertical reef compression and favoring depth generalists within coral communities lying on inshore turbid reefs, highlighting an emerging local threat that is affecting fringing reefs on a global scale. Our study provides direct field evidence that the reef coral Galaxea fascicularis exhibits heterotrophic plasticity,

The Ecological Importance of Toxicity: Sea Anemones Maintain Toxic Defence When Bleached
Toxins, 2019 Cnidarians are amongst the most venomous animals on the planet. They are also under significant threat due to the impacts of climate change. Corals and anemones undergo climate-induced bleaching during extreme environmental conditions, where a loss of ...

A fast recoiling silk-like elastomer facilitates nanosecond nematocyst discharge
BMC Biology, 2015 BackgroundThe discharge of the Cnidarian stinging organelle, the nematocyst, is one of the fastest processes in biology and involves volume changes of the highly pressurised (150 bar) capsule of up to 50%.
