Vascular regeneration in a basal chordate is due to the presence of immobile, bi-functional cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The source of tissue turnover during homeostasis or following injury is usually due to proliferation of a small number of resident, lineage-restricted stem cells that have the ability to amplify and differentiate into mature cell types.

Improved Media Formulations for Primary Cell Cultures Derived from a Colonial Urochordate
Cells, 2023 The cultivation of marine invertebrate cells in vitro has garnered significant attention due to the availability of diverse cell types and cellular potentialities in comparison to vertebrates and particularly in response to the demand for a multitude of ...

Urochordate histoincompatible interactions activate vertebrate-like coagulation system components. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 The colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri expresses a unique allorecognition system. When two histoincompatible Botryllus colonies come into direct contact, they develop an inflammatory-like rejection response.

Botryllus schlosseri allorecognition: tackling the enigma [PDF]
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2015 Allorecognition has been well-studied in the context of vertebrate adaptive immunity and recognition of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), which is the central event of vertebrate immune responses. Although allorecognition systems have been identified throughout the metazoa, recent results have shown that there is no apparent conservation or ...

An elongated COI fragment to discriminate botryllid species and as an improved ascidian DNA barcode
Scientific Reports, 2021 Botryllids are colonial ascidians widely studied for their potential invasiveness and as model organisms, however the morphological description and discrimination of these species is very problematic, leading to frequent specimen misidentifications.
