Hydrozoan nematocytes send and receive synaptic signals induced by mechano-chemical stimuli.
Nematocytes, the stinging cells of Hydrozoa, can be considered as prototypic mechanosensory hair cells bearing a concentric hair bundle, the cnidocil apparatus. These cells produce typical mechanoreceptor potentials in response to deflection of their cnidocil. Here we show that mechanosensory signals are relayed to neighbouring nematocytes via chemical neurotransmission and that nematocytes rec...
متن کاملThe Semantics of Blocking and Nonblocking Send and Receive Primitives
Current message-passing parallel computers provide send and receive primitives with a wide variety of blocking, synchronization , selectivity and ordering properties. Unfortunately , the interactions between the diierent properties of the send and receive primitives can be extremely complex, and as a result, the precise semantics of these primitives are not well understood. In this paper we pre...

Adult ants use saliva to transfer juvenile hormone and other chemical signals to their larvae.
متن کاملLight influence on nematocyst firing in the Sea anemone Haliplanella luciae
Nematocytes, the cnidarians stinging cells, discharge nematocysts into prey to capture them. As nematocysts are expensive, the discharge is tightly regulated and occurs after proper chemical and mechanical stimulation. Here, I present evidence for nematocytes photosensitivity. I found that light decreases the propensity for nematocytes to discharge in the sea anemone Haliplanella luciae. Taken ...
متن کاملA structure-based sequential mechano-chemical model
From accumulating studies of hexameric helicases, a mechano-chemical coupling mechanism has emerged which postulates that the nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) hydrolysis is sequentially coordinated together with the binding and translocation of nucleic acid substrate. Various mechano-chemical models have been proposed for different hexameric helicases with no consensus for a common mechanism. To e...
