A thrombospondin in the anthozoan Nematostella vectensis is associated with the nervous system and upregulated during regeneration

Biology Open, 2012
Summary Thrombospondins are multimeric extracellular matrix glycoproteins that play important roles in development, synaptogenesis and wound healing in mammals.

Coral Venom and Toxins as Protection Against Crown‐of‐Thorns Sea Star Attack

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Crown‐of‐thorns sea star (CoTS) outbreaks are a main cause of hard coral cover decline across the Indo‐Pacific, posing a major threat to the resilience of coral reefs. However, the drivers underlying CoTS feeding on preferred (e.g., Acropora species) versus non‐preferred (e.g., Porites species) are poorly understood. We hypothesised that coral

Why Homoscleromorph Sponges Have Ciliated Epithelia: Evidence for an Ancestral Role in Mucociliary Driven Particle Flux

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 8, Page 505-516, December 2025.
Epithelia are typically ciliated, except in sponges. Of all Porifera only Homoscleromorphs have motile cilia on their epithelia. Our data highlight the presence of cilia and mucociliary particle transport as a common feature of metazoa and a secondary loss in other sponge lineages.

Experimental Tools to Study Regeneration in the Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis

, 2020
Animal regeneration is a biological process leading to the reformation of injured or lost tissues/body parts. One of the most fascinating regenerative phenomena is the so-called whole-body regeneration, leading to the reformation of fully functional organisms within days after bisection.

Germ layer-specific regulation of cell polarity and adhesion gives insight into the evolution of mesoderm

eLife, 2018
In triploblastic animals, Par-proteins regulate cell-polarity and adherens junctions of both ectodermal and endodermal epithelia. But, in embryos of the diploblastic cnidarian Nematostella vectensis, Par-proteins are degraded in all cells in the ...

Plasticity in climate change responses

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2508-2527, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Recent research has shown that climate change can both induce and modulate the expression of plastic traits but our understanding of the role of phenotypic plasticity as an adaptive response to climate change is limited. In this review, we dissect the mechanisms and impact of phenotypic plasticity as a response to accumulating climatic ...

Methylome Profiling of a Deuterostome Invertebrate Using Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT DNA methylation is crucial for genome regulation and provides key insights into the interaction between genetics and environmental factors, offering valuable perspectives for ecological research. However, knowledge of DNA methylation patterns in nonmodel invertebrates remains limited.

Mechanosensitivity in the model sea anemone Nematostella vectensis [PDF]

, 2020
Tentacles of the sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, are covered with hair bundles. Hair bundles were deXected by water jets to test whether they are mechanoreceptors.
