Feeding-dependent tentacle development in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis [PDF]
How the developmental capacity of long-lived animals copes with fluctuations in the food supply is unclear. Here, the authors show using the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis that the crosstalk between Target of Rapamycin and fibroblast growth factor ...

Characterization of circadian behavior in the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis. [PDF]
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.

Protocol for cell transplantation in Nematostella vectensis, a Hexacorallian model. [PDF]
Stem cell transplantation is a promising strategy for regenerating damaged tissues in Hexacorallia, a cnidarian subclass that includes stony corals threatened by anthropogenic stressors. Here, we present a protocol for cell transplantation in Nematostella vectensis, a Hexacorallian model. We describe steps for chemotherapy treatment, cell dissociation,

Morphological and molecular analysis of the Nematostella vectensis cnidom. [PDF]
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 ...

Transcriptomic Analysis in the Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis [PDF]
The sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is an emerging research model to study embryonic development and regeneration at the molecular and global transcriptomic level. Transcriptomics analysis is now routinely used to detect differential expression at the genome level.

Molecular and Cellular Analysis of the Nematostella vectensis Cnidom [PDF]
Cnidaria is the sister group of Bilateria and thus phylogenetically at the base of the Metazoa. The characteristic trait of the phylum is the presence of nematocysts or cnidae. These unique extrusive organelles are used for prey capture, feeding, defense and partly locomotion.

Common Environmental Pollutants Negatively Affect Development and Regeneration in the Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis Holobiont [PDF]
The anthozoan sea anemone Nematostella vectensis belongs to the phylum of cnidarians which also includes jellyfish and corals. Nematostella are native to United States East Coast marsh lands, where they constantly adapt to changes in salinity ...

Steroid metabolism in cnidarians: Insights from Nematostella vectensis [PDF]
Cnidarians occupy a key evolutionary position as a sister group to bilaterian animals. While cnidarians contain a diverse complement of steroids, sterols, and other lipid metabolites, relatively little is known of the endogenous steroid metabolism or function in cnidarian tissues.

Single-Cell Transcriptomic Analysis in the Regenerating Cnidarian Nematostella vectensis. [PDF]
AbstractCnidarians have historically served as excellent laboratory models for regenerative development given their capacity to regrow large portions of the adult organism. This capacity is notably absent or poorly developed in the powerful genetic laboratory models Drosophila, C. elegans, and mouse.
