echinoderms, a class of marine animals that is attracting interest from scientists. The …

Abstract Echinobase (www. echinobase. org) is a model organism knowledgebase serving
as a resource for the community that studies echinoderms, a phylum of marine invertebrates …

Sea cucumbers have an extraordinary regenerative capability. Under stressful conditions,
Holothuria glaberrima can eviscerate their internal organs, including the digestive tract …

This review considers available data on the composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in
echinoderms. The connective tissue in these animals has a rather complex organization. It …

Asterias amurensis has attracted widespread concern because of its population outbreaks,
which has impacted fisheries and aquaculture, as well as disrupting local ecosystems. A …

The sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus can expel internal organs under stress and
regenerate them subsequently. However, growth is delayed during regeneration …

Echinoderms are of broad interest for abundant bioactive lipids. The comprehensive lipid
profiles in eight echinoderm species were obtained by UPLC-Triple TOF-MS/MS with …

Regeneration is a post-embryonic developmental process common in Metazoa, which,
despite obvious taxa-specific differences, can often share common principles and patterns …

The present review formulates an evolutionary hypothesis on the distribution of regeneration
in invertebrates and vertebrates. Regeneration is a basal ancestral property of animals living …
