New insights into the mutable collagenous tissue of Paracentrotus lividus : preliminary results*
TLDR
The preliminary results of a detailed analysis of MCT components in the sea-urchin Paracentrotus lividus are presented, focusing on biochemical characterization of the fibrils and biomolecular analysis of the presumptive glycoproteins involved.

TLDR
Information will be fundamental in understanding what holds collagenous tissues together at the fibrillar level, and could have important implications for people with Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome.
Biochemical characterization of fibrillar collagen from the mutable spine ligament of the sea-urchin Eucidaris tribuloides
TLDR
Collagen was extracted by pepsin-digestion of the spine ligaments of the sea-urchin Eucidaris tribuloides based on its α-chain composition and solubility characteristics and formed SLS-crystallites and native-banded fibrils under appropriate conditions.
Matrix Metalloproteinases in a Sea Urchin Ligament with Adaptable Mechanical Properties
TLDR
Evidence is provided that MMPs may contribute to the variable tensility of the CDLs, in the light of which an updated hypothesis for the regulatory mechanism controlling MCT mutability is provided.

Regulation of growth involves the integration of several body systems including nerves, muscles and connective tissues. We demonstrate how changes in material properties of a connective tissue permit…
Correlations Between the Biochemistry and Mechanical States of a Sea-Urchin Ligament: A Mutable Collagenous Structure
TLDR
CDL mutability seems to involve a molecular rearrangement of the ECM, without synthesis of new ECM components, as well as sulphated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and subtle adjustments in tissue hydration seemed to occur, particularly during stiffening.
Dynamic mechanical characterization of a mutable collagenous tissue: response of sea cucumber dermis to cell lysis and dermal extracts.
TLDR
It is concluded that changes in the mechanical state of the tissue involve interactions between elastic elements within the tissue rather than an alteration of its viscous components.
Stiparin: a glycoprotein from sea cucumber dermis that aggregates collagen fibrils.
The interactions between collagen fibrils in many echinoderm connective tissues are rapidly altered by the secretions of resident neurosecretory cells. Recent evidence has suggested that a secreted…
The attachment of collagenous ligament to stereom in primary spines of the sea-urchin, Eucidaris tribuloides.
The similar proximal and distal attachments to the stereom of primary spine ligament in the echinoid Eucidaris tribuloides are described, from thin sections and SEM studies on frozen and fractured…

The collagenous nature of problematical ligaments in crinoids (Echinodermata)
TLDR
Light and electron microscopic work shows that the crinoid ligaments may provide the needed rigidity to the crInoid skeleton, in a manner similar to that by which the echinoid catch apparatus can hold the spine tightly to the test in one position.

Factors Regulating the Mechanical Properties of Holothurian Dermis
TLDR
chemical stimulation of the dermis with coelomic fluid of the sea cucumber, or with artificial sea water containing a high concentration of potassium, increased both the elastic stiffness and the viscosity and affected the mechanical properties of other echinoderm connective tissue in a similar way to the holothurian dermis.

TLDR
The dermis responded (stiffened) to some chemicals: acetylcholine, high potassium seawater, a factor in coelomic fluid of sea cucumbers, and the homogenate of the dermis ofSea cucumbers.
