Single-cell transcriptomics reveals transcriptional diversity of sea cucumber perivisceral fluid coelomocytes

This study uses scRNA-seq to identify transcriptional diversity in sea cucumber coelomocytes, revealing functional roles and potential progenitor and specialized cell types.

Carotenoid-based immune response in sea cucumbers relies on newly identified coelomocytes -- the carotenocytes

This study identifies carotenoid-rich coelomocytes in sea cucumbers, challenging the assumption that hemocytes contain haemoglobin and proposing a new classification as carotenocytes.

Functional characterization of luciferase in a brittle star indicates parallel evolution influenced by genomic availability of haloalkane dehalogenase

The paper identifies the origin of a luciferase gene from haloalkane dehalogenases in brittle stars and shows parallel evolution of bioluminescence across distant species.

Insights into the bioluminescence systems of three sea pens (Cnidaria: Anthozoa): from de novo transcriptome analyses to biochemical assays

The paper analyzes the bioluminescence systems of three sea pen species using transcriptome data and biochemical assays, identifying key proteins and confirming their roles in light production.

Abundance, diversity and evolution of tyrosinase enzymes involved in the adhesive systems of mussels and tubeworms

This study identifies and characterizes tyrosinase enzymes involved in the adhesive systems of mussels and tubeworms, revealing their diversity and evolutionary relationship.

Opsin-based photoreception in Crinoids: a molecular and behavioural study of Antedon bifida

This study investigates opsin-based photoreception in the crinoid Antedon bifida, revealing behavioural sensitivity to light, three rhabdomeric opsin genes, and potential extraocular photoreception structures.

Discovery of novel representatives of bilaterian neuropeptide families and reconstruction of neuropeptide precursor evolution in ophiuroid echinoderms

The paper identifies novel neuropeptide precursors in brittle stars and analyzes their evolutionary changes over 270 million years.
