Members of the phylum Echinodermata are among the most familiar
marine invertebrates. Forms such as the sea star have become
virtually a symbol of sea life. Used in ancient oriental medicine
as a source of bioactive compounds, sea cucumbers, sea stars and
sea urchins are now used for the extraction and purification of
cytotoxic, haemolytic, antiviral, antifungal, antifouling,
antimicrobial and even anti-tumoural activities. In addition, of
the five extant classes, sea urchins and sea cucumbers are
important economic resources for current fishery and aquaculture.
Molecular and cell biological techniques described in this book
are, on the one hand, indicative of the improvements made over the
years and, on the other, stress the need of their further
exploitation for the sustainable production of bioactive compounds
and their application in biomedicine.
