The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Adult ascidians are capable of regenerating their entire brains following injury, and glycosaminoglycans have been shown to either promote or inhibit neuritogenesis. In this study, dermatan 2,6‐disulfate (D2,6S) was identified as the predominant complex carbohydrate in the ascidian brain.

Chitin protects the gut epithelial barrier in a protochordate model of DSS-induced colitis
Biology Open, 2018 The gastrointestinal tract of Ciona intestinalis, a solitary tunicate that siphon-filters water, shares similarities with its mammalian counterpart.

Defining the role of αC helix interactions in the activation of the integrin αI domain
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The α2I domain of the α2β1 integrin contains a distinctive αC helix and a conserved Arg288‐Glu318 ion pair that stabilizes the closed state of the domain. Disruption of this ion pair in the activated α2I variant unwinds the αC helix, which allows interaction with additional collagen‐binding sites increasing collagen binding.

Transposon mediated transgenesis in a marine invertebrate chordate: Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
, 2007 Achievement of transposon mediated germline transgenesis in a basal chordate, Ciona intestinalis, is discussed. A Tc1/mariner superfamily transposon, Minos, has excision and transposition activities in Ciona.

Ciona intestinalis : sgRNA screening towards larval adhesives
, 2023 For high resolution functional genomics Ciona intestinalis as a tunicate and sister group to vertebrates is the perfect model organism because of its small genome and highly conserved developmental processes (Kim et al., 2020).

Gene expression and cellular changes in injured myocardium of Ciona intestinalis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyCiona intestinalis is an invertebrate animal model system that is well characterized and has many advantages for the study of cardiovascular biology. The regulatory mechanisms of cardiac myocyte proliferation in Ciona are intriguing since regeneration of

Parallel visual circuitry in a basal chordate
eLife, 2019 A common CNS architecture is observed in all chordates, from vertebrates to basal chordates like the ascidian Ciona. Ciona stands apart among chordates in having a complete larval connectome.

Growth and energetics in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1995 Rates of growth, filtration and respiration of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis (L.) were measured in the laboratory in the presence of food (flagellate Rhodomonas sp.) concentrations ranging from 0 to 12000 cells ml-' (0 to 500 pg C I-'). Weight-specific growth rate (dry weight of body parts not including the tunic) increased sigrnoidally with ...

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...
