Characterization of Circadian Behavior in the Starlet Sea Anemone, Nematostella vectensis
PLoS ONE, 2012 Although much is known about how circadian systems control daily cycles in the physiology and behavior of Drosophila and several vertebrate models, marine invertebrates have often been overlooked in circadian rhythms research. This study focuses on the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, a species that has received increasing attention within ...

Hox and Wnt pattern the primary body axis of an anthozoan cnidarian before gastrulation
Nature Communications, 2018 Hox genes regulate anterior–posterior axis formation but their role in cnidarians is unclear. Here, the authors disrupt Hox genes NvAx1 and NvAx6 in the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, showing antagonist function in patterning the oral ...

eLifeBMP signaling has a conserved function in patterning the dorsal-ventral body axis in Bilateria and the directive axis in anthozoan cnidarians. So far, cnidarian studies have focused on the role of different BMP signaling network components in regulating ...

RGM Regulates BMP-Mediated Secondary Axis Formation in the Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis
Cell Reports, 2014 Summary: Patterning of the metazoan dorsoventral axis is mediated by a complex interplay of BMP signaling regulators. Repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) is a conserved BMP coreceptor that has not been implicated in axis specification.

bioRxivThe emergence of centralized nervous systems reflects a major inflection point in evolution, enabling animals to integrate diverse inputs and coordinate complex behaviors. Neural centralization is typically associated with Bilateria, whereas their sister

Developmental DynamicsThe sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, has been used as a model organism in developmental biology studies for many years. This estuarine species has the notable capacity to regenerate its full body plan from small pieces throughout life.

c-JUN controls microbial colonization via selective phagocytosis in the sea anemone Nematostella
Nature CommunicationsInnate immunity is traditionally viewed as a broad defense system with limited specificity. However, increasing evidence suggests that innate immune cells can discriminate between distinct microbial partners.
