LRRK2 kinase activity is necessary for development and regeneration in Nematostella vectensis [PDF]
Neural Development, 2023 Background The starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, is an emerging model organism with a high regenerative capacity, which was recently found to possess an orthologue to the human Leucine Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene.

Unique Transcriptional Responses by the Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis to Individual Bacteria: Roles for Bacterial Species, Secreted Products and the Microbiome [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 8, April 2026.Animal responses to bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms are important for understanding how host–microbe interactions lead to divergent molecular responses by the host and the assembly of the holobiont.

Segregation of endoderm and mesoderm germ layer identities in the diploblast Nematostella vectensis [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsA recent study suggested that morphologically diploblastic sea anemones (Cnidaria) have three segregated germ layer identities corresponding to the bilaterian germ layers.

Morphological and molecular analysis of the Nematostella vectensis cnidom. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is an emerging model organism for developmental and evolutionary biology. Due to the availability of genome data and its amenability to genetic manipulation Nematostella serves as a source for comparative ...

An ancient pan-cnidarian microRNA regulates stinging capsule biogenesis in Nematostella vectensis
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: An ancient evolutionary innovation of a novel cell type, the stinging cell (cnidocyte), appeared >600 million years ago in the phylum Cnidaria (sea anemones, corals, hydroids, and jellyfish).

Expanded functional diversity of shaker K(+) channels in cnidarians is driven by gene expansion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The genome of the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis (starlet sea anemone) provides a molecular genetic view into the first nervous systems, which appeared in a late common ancestor of cnidarians and bilaterians.
