Characterisation of thrombocytes in Osteichthyes [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Research, 2019 Thrombocytes in vertebrates other than mammals, inter alia in fish, are analogues of platelets in mammals. In Osteichthyes, these cells take part in haemostatic processes, including aggregation and release reactions in cases of blood vessel damage, and ...

Immune Functions of Erythrocytes in Osteichthyes [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Red blood cells (RBCs)—erythrocytes—of Osteichthyes are primarily known for their involvement in the process of gas exchange and respiration. Currently, physiological properties of RCBs in fish should also include their ability to participate in defense ...

Specific humoral immunity in Osteichthyes [PDF]
Central European Journal of Immunology, 2018 The fish immune system is extremely complex and has considerable adaptive potential. In Osteichthyes, the system is formed by lymphopoietic organs which are important for the differentiation and maturation of the immune system cells. These organs include

Extraordinary diversity of the CD28/CTLA4 family across jawed vertebrates [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyMembers of the CD28 family are critical for the control of immune cell activation. While CD28 and CTLA4 were previously identified in teleost fish, most members of the CD28 family have been described only in tetrapods.

Unappreciated Cenozoic ecomorphological diversification of stem gars revealed by a new large species [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 The evolutionary history of gars, an ancient group of ray-finned fishes, is excellently documented in the fossil record. These fishes are notable for how little the anatomy of extant species differs from that of their earliest known relatives from ...

Lung evolution in vertebrates and the water-to-land transition
eLife, 2022 A crucial evolutionary change in vertebrate history was the Palaeozoic (Devonian 419–359 million years ago) water-to-land transition, allowed by key morphological and physiological modifications including the acquisition of lungs. Nonetheless, the origin
