Nature, 1958 IT has been known since 19111 that the blood of certain species of ascidians contains organically bound vanadium. Bertrand2 has shown that most marine invertebrates contain between 0.2 and 2 parts per million of vanadium dry weight, whereas in ascidians the figure may be as high as 6,500 p.p.m. dry weight.

Evolutionary mitogenomics of Chordata: the strange case of ascidians and vertebrates [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2009 The availability of almost one thousand complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) sequences of chordates provides an almost unique opportunity to analyse the evolution of this genome in the phylum Chordata, and to identify possible divergent evolutionary ...

Morula cells and non-self recognition in the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2005 In the ascidian Botryllus schlosseri, we studied the effects of hemocyte incubation with foreign cells, such as bacteria, bacterial spores and yeast. In the presence of yeast and bacterial spores, morula cells, a common cell type in botryllid ascidians ...

Detecting Symmetry in Ascidian Embryo
2024 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI)Modern microscopy techniques allow to acquire temporal sequences of 3D stacks. It provides a unprecedented means to image developing organs or embryos at the cellular level, but results in a huge quantity of data.Proposing efficient processing methods is then absolutely crucial. We are addressing here the study of ascidian embryo development.

Insights on cytotoxic cells of the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2015 Morula cells (MCs) represent the most abundant circulating hemocyte of the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri. They are cytotoxic cells involved in the rejection reaction between contacting, genetically incompatible colonies.

Focusing on Ciona intestinalis (Tunicata) innate immune system. Evolutionary implications
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2009 Phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data provide compelling evidence that ascidians are of critical importance for studying chordate immune system evolution. The Ciona intestinalis draft genome sequence allows searches for phylogenetic relationships,
