Continuous Drug Release by Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis Stinging Microcapsules

Marine Drugs, 2014
Transdermal delivery is an attractive option for drug delivery. Nevertheless, the skin is a tough barrier and only a limited number of drugs can be delivered through it. The most difficult to deliver are hydrophilic drugs.

The venom and the toxicity of Pelagia noctiluca (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa). A review of three decades of research in Italian laboratories and future perspectives

Journal of Biological Research, 2015
Recurrent outbreaks of Pelagia noctiluca and health problems consequent to stings were recorded during the last decades. This phenomenon forced some Italian University laboratories to study this cnidarian.

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 ...

Functional and proteomic analysis of Ceratonova shasta (Cnidaria: Myxozoa) polar capsules reveals adaptations to parasitism

Scientific Reports, 2017
Myxozoa is a diverse, speciose group of microscopic parasites, recently placed within the phylum Cnidaria. Myxozoans are highly reduced in size and complexity relative to free-living cnidarians, yet they have retained specialized organelles known as ...

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 Chemical Composition of Sea Nettle Nematocysts

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1969
Interest in the stinging apparatus of the sea nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha) has been stimulated recently because of the economic problem produced by this organism. Resort activity is severely curtailed during the summer season when the nettle is prevalent.

Novel Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers Reveal Genetic Differentiation between Two Sympatric Types of Galaxea fascicularis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The reef-building, scleractinian coral, Galaxea fascicularis, is classified into soft and hard types, based on nematocyst morphology. This character is correlated with the length of the mitochondrial non-coding region (mt-Long: soft colony type, and ...
