Discovery of PD-L1 Peptide Inhibitors from Ascidian Enzymatic Hydrolysates by Affinity Ultrafiltration Coupled to NanoLC-MS/MS [PDF]

Marine Drugs
Anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies have achieved great clinical success in cancer immunotherapy, and peptide and small molecule inhibitors of PD-1/PD-L1 binding also attract much attention.

Proteome analysis refines molecular processes underlying metamorphosis in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Tunicates, including ascidians, are recognized as the true 'sister group' of vertebrates and are emerging as models to study larval and post-larval development, including degeneration of central nervous system (CNS), in chordates.

Effects of Exposure to Trade Antifouling Paints and Biocides on Larval Settlement and Metamorphosis of the Compound Ascidian Botryllus schlosseri

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
To evaluate the effects of antifouling paints and biocides on larval settlement and metamorphosis, newly hatched swimming larvae of the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri, a dominant species of soft-fouling in coastal communities, were exposed to (i)

Behavioural Responses to Ultrasound Antifouling Systems by Adult Solitary Ascidians

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Ultrasonic antifouling devices are installed globally on a variety of vessel types and are marketed as an environmentally friendly method for biofouling control. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of ultrasound on adults of three species of

Immunotoxicity in Ascidians: Antifouling Compounds Alternative to Organotins—V. the Case of Dichlofluanid

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Dichlofluanid has long been employed as a fungicide in agriculture and has been massively introduced in antifouling paints for boat hulls over the last two decades.

Metamorphosis in solitary ascidians [PDF]

genesis, 2014
SummaryEmbryonic and postembryonic development in ascidians have been studied for over a century, but it is only in the last 10 years that the complex molecular network involved in coordinating postlarval development and metamorphosis has started to emerge.

Ascidian notochord morphogenesis [PDF]

Developmental Dynamics, 2007
AbstractThe development of the notochord involves a complex set of cellular behaviors. While these morphogenic behaviors are common to all chordates, the ascidian provides a particularly attractive experimental model because of its relative simplicity. In particular, all notochord morphogenesis in ascidians takes place with only 40 cells, as opposed to
