We know that some animals are bilaterian—meaning they display bilateral symmetry—while others are not, but nature is rarely ...

So while the sea anemone's genome, gene repertoire, and gene regulation on the DNA level is surprisingly similar to vertebrates, its post-transcriptional regulation is undeniably plant-like -- and ...

A study from the University of Vienna reveals that sea anemones use a molecular mechanism known from bilaterian animals to form their back-to-belly body axis. This mechanism ("BMP shuttling ...

To test whether sea anemones use Chordin as a local inhibitor or as a shuttle, the researchers first blocked Chordin production in the embryos of the model sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. In ...

The minerals that are being targeted form a critical part of the sea floor, and the sea floor is what life attaches to in the ...

These unusual anemones are rarely seen on land because they spend their lives drifting in the open ocean, clinging to floating debris. They literally look like bird poop if you did not know what ...

This sea anemone is well-known for its symbiotic relationship with hermit crabs, offering the crab protection with its stinging tentacles while benefiting from the crab’s mobility and access to ...

There are thousands of different species of sea anemones in the ocean with some living as far deep as 32,000 feet. Anemones are marine invertebrates that are closely related to jellyfish. This ...

Summary Researchers discovered that starlet sea anemones reshape their entire bodies during regeneration to maintain their original proportions. Using spatial transcriptomics, the team identified ...

The sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is also highly regenerative: it can reproduce asexually by budding and also shows no signs of aging, which makes it an interesting subject for stem cell ...

Scientists at the ICAR-National Bureau of Fish Genetic Resources (NBFGR) working on sea anemones of the Lakshadweep group of islands have found mass anemone bleaching off the Agatti island.
