Abstract:

Hagfishes defend themselves from fish predators by releasing large volumes of gill-clogging slime when they are attacked. Slime release is not anticipatory, but is only released after an attack has been initiated, raising the question of how hagfishes survive the initial attack, especially from biting predators such as sharks. We tested two hypotheses that could explain how hagfishes avoid damage from shark bites: puncture-resistant skin, and a loose and flaccid body design that makes it difficult for teeth to penetrate body musculature and viscera. Based on data from skin puncture tests from

Abstract:

Hagfish slime is a unique predator defence material containing a network of long fibrous threads each ∼10 cm in length. Hagfish release the threads in a condensed coiled state known as skeins (∼100 µm), which must unravel within a fraction of a second to thwart a predator attack. Here we consider the hypothesis that viscous hydrodynamics can be responsible for this rapid unravelling, as opposed to chemical reaction kinetics alone. Our main conclusion is that, under reasonable physiological conditions, unravelling due to viscous drag can occur within a few hundred milliseconds, and is accelerat

Abstract:

The defense mechanism of hagfish against predators is based on its ability to form slime within a few milliseconds. Slime formation is a well-orchestrated interplay of mucin, protein threads, and ions present in seawater.

Abstract:

Four specimens of the five-gilled white mid-dorsal line hagfish, Eptatretus wandoensissp. nov. were recently collected from the southwestern Sea of Korea (Wando). This new species has five pairs of gill apertures, 14–18 prebranchial slime pores, 4 branchial slime pores, a dark brown back with a white mid-dorsal line and a white belly. These hagfish are similar to Eptatretus burgeri and Eptatretus minor in having a white mid-dorsal line, but can be readily distinguished by the numbers of gill apertures (5 vs. 6–7), gill pouches (5 vs. 6), and prebranchial slime pores (14–18 vs. &gt; 18), as

Abstract:

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) was employed to investigate the structure and mechanics underlying the material properties of two remarkable biomaterials. Hydrated hagfish intermediate filament (IF) proteins were identified as having a two component nature, consistent with current structural models. One component is relatively rigid and immobile, the other rubbery, in which the protein backbone reorients with correlation times on the order of 60 ns. In order to investigate the role of calcium ions in the formation of hagfish slime, hagfish IFs were exposed to Ca²⁺ ions in solution. Energy di

Abstract:

Intermediate filaments (IFs) provide mechanical integrity to a wide range of biomaterials, from soft epithelia to hard keratins such as nail and horn. Although much is known about the mechanical properties of IF-rich materials such as hair, the mechanical properties of individual IFs are unknown. In this thesis, I employed hagfish slime threads, which are composed almost exclusively of highly aligned IFs, as a model for exploring the mechanics of IFs both in living cells and keratinized tissues. Experiments with hydrated slime threads suggest that IFs in cells are extremely soft, exten

Abstract:

The race to find new high performance materials is at an exciting stage. Science is in the midst of attempting to investigate any and all materials that are present in the world with the hope of finding superior, cheaper, environmentally friendly materials. Nature, it seems has been unknowingly at the race for quite some time, and is leading it in some areas. Intermediate filament-based materials promise good mechanical characteristics with the added benefit of self-assembly.

Abstract:

Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii) slime mucin vesicles are released by holocrine secretion with membranes that remain intact until the vesicle contacts seawater and ruptures. This thesis is an investigation of the mechanisms that drive mucin vesicle rupture for mucin release. Using isolated mucin vesicles collected from the slime glands of the hagfish, I tested the effects of a variety of solutions and drugs on vesicle rupture. I found that there are two categories of mucin vesicle that differ in their sensitivity to calcium ions, and that calcium-dependent vesicle rupture was inhibited wit
