Extracellular Vesicle Signatures and Post-Translational Protein Deimination in Purple Sea Urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) Coelomic Fluid—Novel Insights into Echinodermata Biology [PDF]
Biology, 2021 The purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) is a marine invertebrate of the class Echinoidea that serves as an important research model for developmental biology, cell biology, and immunology, as well as for understanding regenerative responses

Lectins identify distinct populations of coelomocytes in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Coelomocytes represent the immune cells of echinoderms, but detailed knowledge about their roles during immune responses is very limited. One major challenge for studying coelomocyte biology is the lack of reagents to identify and purify distinct ...

Thyroid hormone membrane receptor binding and transcriptional regulation in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 Thyroid hormones (THs) are small amino acid derived signaling molecules with broad physiological and developmental functions in animals. Specifically, their function in metamorphic development, ion regulation, angiogenesis and many others have been ...

New biomarkers of post-settlement growth in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus [PDF]
Heliyon, 2017 Some sea urchins, including the purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, have been successfully used in aquaculture, but their slow growth and late reproduction are challenging to overcome when developing efficient aquaculture production ...

Spotting disease disrupts the microbiome of infected purple sea urchins, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyBackground Spotting disease infects a variety of sea urchin species across many different marine locations. The disease is characterized by discrete lesions on the body surface composed of discolored necrotic tissue that cause the loss of all surface ...

Metabolic adaptations of starving purple sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) surviving in the barrens [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSea urchin grazing can drive kelp loss creating low productivity “barrens” with reduced biodiversity that may persist for decades. In these habitats, limited food driven by sea urchin herbivory reciprocally affects sea urchin physiology, yet the ...

Manipulation of developing juvenile structures in purple sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) by morpholino injection into late stage larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Sea urchins have been used as experimental organisms for developmental biology for over a century. Yet, as is the case for many other marine invertebrates, understanding the development of the juveniles and adults has lagged far behind that of their ...
