Old Weapons for New Wars: Bioactive Molecules From Cnidarian Internal Defense Systems
2016
The renewed interest in the study of genes of immunity in Cnidaria has led to additional information to the scenario of the first stages of immunity evolution revealing the cellular processes involved in symbiosis, in the regulation of homeostasis and in the fight against infections. The recent study with new molecular and functional approach on these organisms have therefore contributed with unexpected information on the knowledge of the stages of capturing activities and defense mechanisms strongly associated with toxin production. Cnidarians are diblastic aquatic animals with radial symmetry; they represent the ancestral state of Metazoa, they are the simplest multicellular organisms tha…
Assessment of morphological and cellular responses after infection with living bacteria in the marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis
2017
Bacterial strains of Vibrio genus associated with temperate regions are linked to mussels-borne infections. The sedentary nature of marine mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis, together with their filter feeding combine to ensure that they have the potential for considerable exposure to infective agents. Bacterial strains of Vibrio genus associated with temperate regions are linked to mussels-borne infections. The sedentary nature of marine mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis, together with their filter feeding combine to ensure that they have the potential for considerable exposure to infective agents. The primary mechanism of bivalve internal defense involves hemocytes responsible for cell-m…
