Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of Skin after the Sting of the Jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca [PDF]
Case Reports in Dermatology, 2023 Jellyfish are aquatic animals of the phylum Cnidaria found in seas all over the world. They are characterized by the presence of cnidocytes, cells that contain a secretory organelle, the cnidocyst, mainly used for predation and defense purposes. An adult

The Mesogloea of Pelagia noctiluca [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 1959 ABSTRACT The arrangement of the mesogloea fibres of Pelagia noctiluca is described chiefly from material examined in the fresh state. The role of the mesogloea in swimming is shown to be the antagonization of the subumbrellar circumferential muscles. The fibres of the mesogloea are shown to be collagenous by
