The Mediterranean Sea on the Bench: Unveiling the Marine Invertebrate Sidnyum elegans as a Source of Novel Promising Therapeutic Tools Against Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Marine Drugs
This study aims to unveil the marine invertebrate Sidnyum elegans, a Mediterranean ascidian, as a natural resource for the early development of new treatments for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Nine different fractions obtained via medium-pressure

Separated hemocyte populations from the ascidian Ciona intestinalis contain and release in vitro opsonizing Ca2+-independent and β-galactoside specific lectins [PDF]

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2007
Cytosolic lectins, Ca2+-independent and β-galactoside-specific, were determined to be containedin hemocyte and pharynx lysate supernatants of Ciona intestinalis, as revealed by hemagglutinationassay with trypsinized rabbit erythrocytes. Ca2+-independence

Spatial Distribution and Recruitment of the Botrylloides violaceus and Botryllus schlosseri Tunicates in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey [PDF]

, 2022
Botrylloides violaceus and Botryllus schlosseri, colonial ascidians, are known invasive species of the North American Atlantic coast. The tunicates take residence and grow on native eelgrass (Zostera marina) blades, potentially negatively affecting ...

Casual observations, random musings and wild extrapolations based on some actual data on the impact of invasive tunicates to eelgrass

, 2014
Tunicates, more commonly known as sea squirts, can grow as a solitary organism or as part of extensive colonies. Tunicates are more frequently associated with hard substrate, but a number of invasive tunicate species have now been found to colonize ...

Pelagic tunicates at shallow hydrothermal vents of Kueishantao.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The composition and abundance of the major zooplankton taxon tunicates were analyzed in a multi-year study and correlated with environmental parameters in the area around the hydrothermal vent field of Kueishantao (Turtle Island) in Taiwan. This provided
