Abstract
Study of the adhesive organs of echinoderm invertebrates: tube feet,larval adhesive organs, Cuvierian tubules. Measurement of adhesion forces and recognition of the factors that act upon them; ultrastructural description of the adhesive and deadhesive cells, purification and characterization of the adhesive proteins; cloning and sequencing of the genes coding for these proteins and study of their expression during the animal life cycle.
Keywords
adhesion, echinodermata, tube feet, larvae, cuvierian tubules, biofouling
