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

Approaches to the ethology of hydroids and medusae (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) [PDF]
, 2000 The behavioural patterns of 26 species of Antho- and Leptomedusae (with or without medusa stage) were investigated by video recordings. The analysed activities were: answers to mechanical stimuli, prey capture and ingestion, digestion, egestion, and ...

A genome wide survey reveals multiple nematocyst-specific genes in Myxozoa
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Myxozoa represents a diverse group of microscopic endoparasites whose life cycle involves two hosts: a vertebrate (usually a fish) and an invertebrate (usually an annelid worm). Despite lacking nearly all distinguishing animal characteristics,

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.

Phage‐Templated Synthesis of Targeted Photoactive 1D‐Thiophene Nanoparticles
Small, Volume 21, Issue 1, January 8, 2025.The capsid of a refactored M13 phage is decorated with oligothiophene derivatives, transforming the viral structure in a targeted 1D‐thiophene nanoparticle. The unique properties of the bacteriophages (protein‐based structure, possibility to be genetically engineered, tropism for specific cell types) are leveraged on to biofabricate a novel hybrid ...

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 ...
