Clot Formation in the Sipunculid Worm Themiste petricola: A Haemostatic and Immune Cellular Response

Clot formation in the sipunculid Themiste petricola, a coelomate nonsegmented marine worm without a circulatory system, is a cellular response that creates a haemostatic mass upon activation with sea water. The mass with sealing properties is brought about by homotypic aggregation of granular leukoc...
