Deep-Sea Anemones Are Prospective Source of New Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Compounds [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2021 The peculiarities of the survival and adaptation of deep-sea organisms raise interest in the study of their metabolites as promising drugs. In this work, the hemolytic, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and enzyme-inhibitory activities of tentacle extracts from ...

Amphipods and sea anemones, an update [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2020 We present an updated survey of the Amphipoda that live in association with sea anemones. These amphipods can be divided into four groups: 1) symbiotic amphipods using sea anemones mainly for protection, but feeding largely independently; 2) amphipods ...

Locomotion of Sea-Anemones [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1916 Although sea-anemones belong to a group of animals characterised by radial symmetry, they have long been known to exhibit a bilateral arrangement in their mesenteries and adjacent parts.

The Tentacular Spectacular: Evolution of Regeneration in Sea Anemones. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2021 Sea anemones vary immensely in life history strategies, environmental niches and their ability to regenerate. While the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is the starlet of many key regeneration studies, recent work is emerging on the diverse ...

Sea Anemones, Actinoporins, and Cholesterol. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Spanish or Spanish-speaking scientists represent a remarkably populated group within the scientific community studying pore-forming proteins. Some of these scientists, ourselves included, focus on the study of actinoporins, a fascinating group of metamorphic pore-forming proteins produced within the venom of several sea anemones.

Sea Anemones: Quiet Achievers in the Field of Peptide Toxins. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel), 2018 Sea anemones have been understudied as a source of peptide and protein toxins, with relatively few examined as a source of new pharmacological tools or therapeutic leads. This is surprising given the success of some anemone peptides that have been tested,

Insights into the Genomics of Clownfish Adaptive Radiation: Genetic Basis of the Mutualism with Sea Anemones. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2019 Clownfishes are an iconic group of coral reef fishes, especially known for their mutualism with sea anemones. This mutualism is particularly interesting as it likely acted as the key innovation that triggered clownfish adaptive radiation.

Towards the Exploration and Evolution of Insulin-like Venoms in Actiniaria (Sea anemones) [PDF]
Marine DrugsRecent studies have elucidated the diversity of genes encoding venom in Sea anemones. However, most of those genes are yet to be explored in an evolutionary context. Insulin is a common peptide across metazoans and has been coopted into a predatory venom

The Ecological Importance of Toxicity: Sea Anemones Maintain Toxic Defence When Bleached. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel), 2019 Cnidarians are amongst the most venomous animals on the planet. They are also under significant threat due to the impacts of climate change. Corals and anemones undergo climate-induced bleaching during extreme environmental conditions, where a loss of ...
