Molecular cloaking mechanism unveils the iconic partnership between anemonefish and anemones. The symbiotic relationship ...

Sialic acids are a family of alpha-keto acid sugars with a nine-carbon backbone, functioning as terminal sugars on cell surface glycoproteins and glycan receptors for cellular recognition.

Scientists have discovered that anemonefish have evolved to maintain very low levels of sialic acid in their skin mucus to avoid triggering the release of nematocysts (stinging cells) in their sea ...

Scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and their international collaborators have discovered that anemonefish have evolved to maintain very low levels of sialic acid ...
