Insights on cytotoxic cells of the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri [PDF]
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.

Modular co-option of cardiopharyngeal genes during non-embryonic myogenesis
EvoDevo, 2019 Background In chordates, cardiac and body muscles arise from different embryonic origins. In addition, myogenesis can be triggered in adult organisms, during asexual development or regeneration.

Journal of Aquatic Animal Health, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 374-394, December 2024.Abstract Objective The dinoflagellate Alexandrium monilatum forms blooms during summer in tributaries of the lower Chesapeake Bay. Questions persist about the potential for A. monilatum to negatively affect aquatic organisms. Its main toxin, goniodomin A (GDA), a polyketide macrolide, has been shown to have adverse effects on animals, for example ...

Mitochondria: great balls of fire
The FEBS Journal, Volume 291, Issue 24, Page 5327-5341, December 2024.What are the implications of hot mitochondria? Recent experimental studies indicate that mitochondria in mammalian cells are maintained at temperatures of at least 50 °C. Here, we consider the ramifications of this finding for cellular functions, evolution, and disease.

Deep quantitative proteomics of North American Pacific coast star tunicate (Botryllus schlosseri)
PROTEOMICS, Volume 24, Issue 15, August 2024.Abstract Botryllus schlosseri, is a model marine invertebrate for studying immunity, regeneration, and stress‐induced evolution. Conditions for validating its predicted proteome were optimized using nanoElute® 2 deep‐coverage LCMS, revealing up to 4930 protein groups and 20,984 unique peptides per sample.

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 255-273, June 2024.ABSTRACT Ascidians are marine filter‐feeder chordates. Botrylloides ascidians possess diverse biological properties such as whole‐body regeneration (WBR), hibernation/aestivation, blastogenesis, metamorphosis, and natural chimerism. However, the absence of distinctive morphological features often makes identification difficult.

Chimerism a natural ability to tolerate kin, evolutionary traits connecting mammalian and protochordates [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2009 In the middle of the 20th century, Owen (1945, 1954) and Billingham et al. (1953) immunological studies suggested that fetal exposure to foreign antigens during pregnancy induce immunologic tolerance in the fetus. Recently, Mold et al.
