How Botryllus Chooses to Fuse [PDF]
Immunity, 2006 In Botryllus schlosseri, a highly polymorphic allorecognition system limits the potential for vascular fusion by genetically dissimilar, adjacent colonies. In this issue, Nyholm et al. (2006) uncover the nature of the receptor that recognizes the products of the histocompatibility genes.

EvoDevo, 2016 Background Germ cells are specified during early development and are responsible for generating gametes in the adult. After germ cells are specified, they typically migrate to a particular niche in the organism where they reside for the remainder of its ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Allorecognition, the ability of an organism to distinguish kin from non-kin, or self from non-self, has been studied extensively in a group of invertebrate chordates, the colonial ascidians called botryllids (Subphylum Tunicata, Class Ascidiacea, Family ...

Data on four apoptosis-related genes in the colonial tunicate Botryllus schlosseri
Data in Brief, 2016 The data described are related to the article entitled “Recurrent phagocytosis-induced apoptosis in the cyclical generation change of the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri” (Franchi et al., 2016) [1].

Migration of germline progenitor cells is directed by sphingosine-1-phosphate signalling in a basal chordate. [PDF]
, 2015 The colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri continuously regenerates entire bodies in an asexual budding process. The germ line of the newly developing bodies is derived from migrating germ cell precursors, but the signals governing this homing process ...

In vivo manipulation of the extracellular matrix induces vascular regression in a basal chordate. [PDF]
, 2017 We investigated the physical role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in vascular homeostasis in the basal chordate Botryllus schlosseri, which has a large, transparent, extracorporeal vascular network encompassing an area >100 cm2 We found that the ...

Ontology for the asexual development and anatomy of the colonial chordate Botryllus schlosseri.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ontologies provide an important resource to integrate information. For developmental biology and comparative anatomy studies, ontologies of a species are used to formalize and annotate data that are related to anatomical structures, their lineage and ...

Studies on Japanese Botryllid Ascidians. IV. A New Species of the Genus Botryllus with a Unique Colony Shape, from the Vicinity of Shimoda [PDF]
, 2003 The morphology and life history of a strange and unidentified botryllid ascidian were investigated. This ascidian was first collected from the stony shore of Ebisu Island in Shimoda, a city on Izu peninsula in central Japan.
