Characterization of the Core Elements of the NF-κB Signaling Pathway of the Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis [PDF]

, 2011
The sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is the leading developmental and genomic model for the phylum Cnidaria, which includes anemones, hydras, jellyfish, and corals.

Tubulin Polymerization Promoting Proteins: Functional Diversity With Implications in Neurological Disorders

Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 103, Issue 5, May 2025.
A family of human proteins, encoded by Tubulin Polymerization Promoting Proteins (TPPP), is highly conserved across species. TPPP displays remarkable functional diversity and is implicated in various neurological disorders. Image created with BioRender.com.

Convergent Evolution of Sodium Ion Selectivity in Metazoan Neuronal Signaling

Cell Reports, 2012
Ion selectivity of metazoan voltage-gated Na+ channels is critical for neuronal signaling and has long been attributed to a ring of four conserved amino acids that constitute the ion selectivity filter (SF) at the channel pore.

Some like it hot: population-specific adaptations in venom production to abiotic stressors in a widely distributed cnidarian

BMC Biology, 2020
Background In cnidarians, antagonistic interactions with predators and prey are mediated by their venom, whose synthesis may be metabolically expensive.

Invertebrate Bile Acid‐Sensitive Ion Channels and Their Emergence in Bilateria

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 8, 30 April 2025.
This graphical abstract presents the evolutionary distribution and functional characteristics of bile acid‐sensing ion channels (BASICs) across bilaterians. A phylogenetic tree illustrates the presence of BASICs in diverse groups, extending beyond previously established mammalian findings.

β-catenin-driven endomesoderm specification is a Bilateria-specific novelty

Nature Communications
Endomesoderm specification by a maternal β-catenin signal and body axis patterning by interpreting a gradient of zygotic Wnt/β-catenin signalling was suggested to predate the split between Bilateria and their sister clade Cnidaria.

A Network Approach to White Band Disease Challenged Staghorn Coral Acropora cervicornis microRNAs and Their Targets

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Our study looks at the association between microRNA expression and disease resistance in Caribbean staghorn corals infected with White Band Disease. We find three microRNAs differentially expressed due to disease resistance with putative targets involved in innate immunity.

Early development and axis specification in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis

Developmental Biology, 2007
We investigated the early development of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis, an emerging model system of the Cnidaria. Early cleavage stages are characterized by substantial variability from embryo to embryo, yet invariably lead to the formation of a coeloblastula.

Role of Prdm genes in ectodermal and non-ectodermal neurogenesis in Nematostella vectensis [PDF]

The origin and evolution of the nervous system is a long-standing question in biology to understand the complexity observed today. Developmentally, the nervous system arises from the outer germ layer: the ectoderm.
