Genome-Wide Identification and Comparative Analysis of Elongation of Very Long-Chain Fatty Acid (Elovl) Genes in Echinoderms
AbstractElongation of very long-chain fatty acid (Elovl) proteins is the critical rate-limiting enzyme that catalyzes the biosynthesis of long-chain...

More than a simple epithelial layer: multifunctional role of echinoderm coelomic epithelium
In echinoderms, the coelomic epithelium (CE) is reportedly the source of new circulating cells (coelomocytes) as well as the provider of molecular...

Coelomocyte replenishment in adult Asterias rubens: the possible ways
The origin of cells involved in regeneration in echinoderms remains an open question. Replenishment of circulatory coelomocytes—cells of the coelomic...

Modulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 signaling pathways in cancer angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis by natural compounds: a comprehensive and critical review
Tumor cells employ multiple signaling mediators to escape the hypoxic condition and trigger angiogenesis and metastasis. As a critical orchestrate of...

Enteroendocrine cells in the Echinodermata
Enteroendocrine cells are endocrine-like cells found in the luminal epithelia of the digestive tract. These cells have been described in most animal...

Extracellular matrix gene expression during arm regeneration in Amphiura filiformis
Extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a dynamic role during tissue development and re-growth. Body part regeneration efficiency relies also on effective...

Development and evolution of gut structures: from molecules to function
The emergence of a specialized system for food digestion and nutrient absorption was a crucial innovation for multicellular organisms. Digestive...

Echinodermata: The Complex Immune System in Echinoderms
The Echinodermata are an ancient phylum of benthic marine invertebrates with a dispersal-stage planktonic larva. These animals have innate immune...

Echinoderm regeneration: an in vitro approach using the crinoid Antedon mediterranea
Among echinoderms, crinoids are well known for their remarkable regenerative potential. Regeneration depends mainly on progenitor cells...

Homeobox Genes Expressed During Echinoderm Arm Regeneration
Regeneration in echinoderms has proved to be more amenable to study in the laboratory than the more classical vertebrate models, since the smaller...

Small coelomic epithelial cells of the starfish Asterias rubens L. that are able to proliferate in vivo and in vitro
Echinoderms, due to their outstanding potential for regeneration, are widely used as experimental models for research in regenerative biology. One of...

Algae extracts and methyl jasmonate anti-cancer activities in prostate cancer: choreographers of ‘the dance macabre’
There is an overwhelmingly increasing trend of analysis of naturally occurring ingredients in treatment of prostate cancer. Substantial fraction of...

Echinoderm Immunity
A survey for immune genes in the genome for the purple sea urchin has shown that the immune system is complex and sophisticated. By inference, immune...
