Is Botryllus a natural killer?
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2003 ![][1] NK-like cells may have arisen to help sea squirt colonies reject each other (center). Khalturin Natural killer (NK) cells in mammals attack virus-infected and tumor cells that stop making major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins.

The Biological Bulletin, 1990 To determine whether Monterey Botryllus and Woods Hole Botryllus are the same species, comparisons were made of their morphology, biology, and colony specificity. In addition, matings were carried out to ascertain whether fertile [Monterey x Woods Hole] F1 progeny could be obtained.

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Molecular Evolution and Gene Diversity of Dermatan Sulfate Sulfotransferases in Ascidians
Proteoglycan Research, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2025.ABSTRACT Ascidians (Chordata, Tunicata) are model organisms for studying molecules, particularly sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), due to their phylogenetic proximity to vertebrates and unique GAG variants. Over‐sulfated dermatan sulfate (DS) contributes to proteoglycan diversity and cellular processes in metazoans.

Multi‐Scaled Cellulosic Nanonetworks from Tunicates
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 30, July 24, 2025.Microbial and plant nanonetworks of cellulose have enabled a wide range of high‐performance yet sustainable materials. Herein, a third class of cellulosic nanonetworks is showcased by exploiting the only animal tissue‐producing cellulose nanofibers, i.e., ascidians. An ultrastructure including spherical cells and a microvasculature with diameters of 50–

Morula cells and non-self recognition in the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri [PDF]
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 ...
