The sea urchin's siren

open access: yesDevelopmental Biology, 2006
This issue of Developmental Biology features articles that constitute a new wave of insights into how a genome interacts with itself (as DNA) and with effectors-proteins and probably RNAs, collectively operating as a kind of "cis-trans" dualism. We learned a test for allelism in genetics class that bore that Latin name but now it comes as a new day for

On artificial parthenogenesis in sea-urchins. [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 1900
IN No. 277 of SCIENCE, I stated that the MgCl 2 solution used in my experiments on artificial parthenogenesis was a 20/8 n solution. I have since found that the assistant who made the Mg-solution used and who has left the laboratory must have made a mistake as the solution contained only ...

Characterization of sea-urchin fibronectin [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1983
Sea-urchin fibronectin from the ovary of the sea urchin Pseudocentrotus depressus bound to gelatin, fibrin and fibrinogen. After mild digestion of the protein labelled with 125I, a 195 000 Da domain was observed. Sea-urchin fibronectin was aggregated by spermine (1 mM) at neutral pH.

Phase-Shift Dynamics of Sea Urchin Overgrazing on Nutrified Reefs.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Shifts from productive kelp beds to impoverished sea urchin barrens occur globally and represent a wholesale change to the ecology of sub-tidal temperate reefs.

Beyond the Nature-Culture Frontier

open access: yesJournal of Festive Studies, 2021
In order to challenge the culture–nature dichotomy, this article investigates two festivities centered around fishing and consuming the sea urchin in two different locations: the Suape Bay Ouriçada (Brazil) in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Carry-le ...

Phylogenomics of strongylocentrotid sea urchins [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013
Strongylocentrotid sea urchins have a long tradition as model organisms for studying many fundamental processes in biology including fertilization, embryology, development and genome regulation but the phylogenetic relationships of the group remain largely unresolved. Although the differing isolating mechanisms of vicariance and rapidly evolving gamete

Mechanically Mutable Matrices: A Hierarchical Investigation of Decellularized Sea Cucumber Collagen as an Adaptable Scaffold Material

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sea cucumber mutable collagenous tissue (MCT) is a remarkable collagen‐based material which can rapidly undergo large changes in stiffness through transiently bound effector proteins. Here, we investigate the hierarchical structure and mechanical response of MCT from Cucumaria frondosa across length scales with a wide range of methods, also exploring ...

Phase Engineering of Nanomaterials (PEN): Evolution, Current Challenges, and Future Opportunities

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the synthesis, phase transition, advanced characterization spanning ex situ to in situ and operando techniques, and diverse applications of phase engineering of nanomaterials (PEN). It further outlines key challenges and future opportunities, such as phase stability, architecture control, and artificial intelligence (AI)‐driven ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing of the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus larva reveals the blueprint of major cell types and nervous system of a non-chordate deuterostome

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Identifying the molecular fingerprint of organismal cell types is key for understanding their function and evolution. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to survey the cell types of the sea urchin early pluteus larva, representing an ...

Flexible Pressure Sensor With Co‐Optimized Sensitivity and Linearity Based on Gradient Toroidal Microstructures

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A flexible piezoresistive pressure sensor with gradient toroidal CNT/PDMS microstructures is reported. The hierarchical geometry enables sequential electrode contact, achieving a sensitivity of 256.20 kPa−1 and linear response (R2 = 0.99) over 0–1000 kPa.
