Seven-Arms Starfish “Luidia maculata” Characteristics of Coelomocytes and Promising GSK3-β Protein for Wound Healing: Cellular and Chemical Analyses
Wafaa H. Abdel-Ghaffar et al.
Abstract:The coelomic fluid (haemocoel) and coelomocytes of echinoderms were scarcely studied in Egypt. Remarkably, the most popular species is the fivearms starfish. While, in this work, the microscopical and chemical characteristics of the 7-arms giant starfish "Luidia maculata" were addressed. The starfish were gathered at 7 meters' depth in the seawater of Ras Sedr, Gulf of Suez, Red Sea, Egypt. As far as we know, no other microscopical data have been published on this species in Egypt. The extracted coelomic fluid… Show more
