Multigene Family of Pore-Forming Toxins from Sea Anemone Heteractis crispa
Marine Drugs, 2018 Sea anemones produce pore-forming toxins, actinoporins, which are interesting as tools for cytoplasmic membranes study, as well as being potential therapeutic agents for cancer therapy.

Fluorescence of Sea Anemones [PDF]
Nature, 1927 I NOTICED recently, upon the rocks in Torbay, a number of sea anemones the tentacles of which appeared to fluoresce in sunlight. The effect is limited to the tentacles, for they appear to have a pinkish-brown colour by transmitted light, which changes to vivid green when viewed by light reflected from their surface.

Recovering Historical eDNA From Museum‐Preserved Filter Feeders via Non‐Destructive Metabarcoding
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT Recent technical advances have significantly enhanced the value of museum specimens for molecular research, with metagenomic and metabarcoding approaches expanding further the utility of museum collections. However, given the finite number of specimens, there is a critical need to move past destructive DNA extraction approaches and to explore ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Premise Seed longevity is critical for successful genebanking, but it is hard to detect or predict. We examined survival of genebanked seeds from species native to the United States to estimate longevity. We tested whether RNA integrity (RIN) can be used to detect aging and predict mortality. Methods Dry seeds from >100 species were stored for

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2020 Two Norwegian uristid amphipods, obligate associates of sea anemones, have for a long time been confused sub nomine Onisimus normani Sars, 1890. In reality this species only occurs in south Norway, while the north-Norwegian material belongs to O ...

Scientia Marina, 2010 In examining large acontia b-mastigophore and p-amastigophore nematocysts of the sea anemone Metridium senile (Linnaeus, 1761) darts were observed by interference-contrast light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The darts consist of

Anemonefish use sialic acid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant sea anemone stinging
BMC BiologyBackground Anemonefish association with sea anemones is a prime example of mutualistic symbiosis. These fish live inside the sea anemone, benefitting from the protection of its toxic nematocysts, and in return, protect the anemone from its own predators.

Synthesis and Hypoglycemic Effect of Insulin from the Venom of Sea Anemone Exaiptasia diaphana
Marine DrugsSea anemone venom, abundant in protein and peptide toxins, serves primarily for predatory defense and competition. This study delves into the insulin-like peptides (ILPs) present in sea anemones, particularly focusing on their role in potentially ...
