2020年2月6日 · Echinoderms display a vast array of pigmentation and patterning in larval and adult life stages. This coloration is thought to be important for immune defense and …

2020年8月19日 · Multimodal technologies and the experimental tractability of sea urchin embryos reveal diverse regulatory mechanisms and unique genes for distinct pigment cell states.

2014年6月27日 · The quinone pigments of sea urchins, specifically echinochrome and spinochromes, are known for their effective antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and antitumor …

This study provides evidence for the production of naphthoquinone pigments in cultivated sea urchin cells. Echinochrome A and spinochrome E were produced by cultivated cells from the …

Larvae of the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, have pigmented migratory cells implicated in immune defense and gut patterning. The transcription factor SpGcm activates the …

2022年11月1日 · Pigment cells and blastocoelar cells respond to an injury, and participate in the wound repair of sea urchin larvae. After their epithelial-mesenchyme transition, both cell types …

2018年1月12日 · Naphthoquinone pigments are packaged in sea urchin shells and spines in special pigment granules associated with Ca 2+, Mg 2+, and proteins; therefore, their isolation …

New secondary mesenchyme specific genes, expressed exclusively in pigment cells, were isolated from sea urchin embryos using a differential screening of a macroarray cDNA library. …

2010年4月15日 · The pigment cells of the sea urchin larvae are of mesodermal origin, specifically they are one of four cell-types that develop from the Secondary Mesenchyme Cells (SMCs; …

2014年7月1日 · We developed in vitro technology for inducing pigment differentiation in cell culture. The intensification of the pigment differentiation was accompanied by a simultaneous …
