Investigating temporal stereotypy in ascidian embryos development
Developmental biology explores the mechanisms of embryo formation and development. Here, we focus on ascidian embryo development, which is highly stereotyped, allowing the identification of homologous cells across embryos and thereby enabling the ...

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) superfamily neuropeptides are distributed in not only vertebrates but also diverse invertebrates. However, no VPergic innervation of invertebrates has ever been documented.

eLife, 2017 The ascidian embryo is an ideal system to investigate how cell position is determined during embryogenesis. Using 3D timelapse imaging and computational methods we analyzed the planar cell divisions in ascidian early embryos and found that spindles in ...

Animal Microbiome, 2020 Background Gut microbiota plays important roles in host animal metabolism, homeostasis and environmental adaptation. However, the interplay between the gut microbiome and urochordate ascidian, the most closet relative of vertebrate, remains less explored.

Mitochondrial respiration and Ca2+ waves are linked during fertilization and meiosis completion [PDF]
, 2003 Fertilization increases both cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration and oxygen consumption in the egg but the relationship between these two phenomena remains largely obscure.

CHARACTERISTIC DISTRIBUTION DENSITY OF ORGANELLES IN THE CYTOPLASM OF RESPECTIVE KINDS OF CELL LINEAGES OF ASCIDIAN EMBRYOS [PDF]
, 1986 In the early embryos of the ascidian (Halocynthia roretzi), regional cytoplasmic differences arise just after fertilization. We successively studied the characteristic features of the cytoplasm of those regions in the embryonic cells during the entire ...

Sycosterol A, an α-Synuclein Inhibitory Sterol from the Australian Ascidian Sycozoa cerebriformis
, 2021 During a recent biodiscovery study to identify new α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation inhibitors, we screened 29 Australian marine sponge and ascidian extracts in an MS binding assay.

Developmental Biology, 2019 The elongation of embryo and tissue is a key morphogenetic event in embryogenesis and organogenesis. Notochord, a typical chordate organ, undergoes elongation to perform its regulatory roles and to form the structural support in the embryo. Notochord elongation is morphologically similar across all chordates, but ascidian has evolved distinct molecular

Barcoding of the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) indicates a recent introduction of Ciona savignyi into New Zealand and provides a rapid method for Ciona species discrimination [PDF]
, 2012 Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene sequencing (DNA barcoding) of Ciona specimens from New Zealand (NZ) led to the first record of the solitary ascidian Ciona savignyi in the Southern Hemisphere. We sought to quantify C.

Endozoicomonas are specific, facultative symbionts of sea squirts
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Ascidians are marine filter feeders and harbor diverse microbiota that can exhibit a high degree of host-specificity. Pharyngeal samples of Scandinavian and Mediterranean ascidians were screened for consistently associated bacteria by culture-dependent ...
