EvoDevo, 2023 Background The Tunicata or Urochordata is the only animal group with the ability to synthesize cellulose directly and cellulose is a component of the tunic that covers the entire tunicate body. The genome of Ciona intestinalis type A contains a cellulose

Endonuclease V: From Transcriptome Regulator to Chemical Biology Tool
ChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 2, February 2026.Post‐transcriptional modifications play a pivotal role in regulating the health and physiology of human cells, and adenosine‐to‐inosine (A‐to‐I) editing is one of the most abundant of these modifications. Inosine is read as guanosine by the cellular machinery, and this change impacts both the regulation and genetic code of RNA, in turn effectively ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 435-455, February 2026.Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (

Structure and behaviour of the sperm terminal filament [PDF]
, 1982 Light- and electron-microscopic observations of Ciona and Lytechinus spermatozoa show a thin terminal filament at the distal end. The terminal filament is 5-6 microns long and contains the two central microtubules and a variable number of A-tubule ...

Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase genes in Tribolium castaneum: evolution, molecular characterisation and gene expression during immune priming. [PDF]
, 2017 The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a normal consequence of the aerobic cell metabolism. Despite their high and potentially detrimental reactivity with various biomolecules, the endogenous production of ROS is a vital part of physiological,

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 268-278, February 2026.ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) can contribute to lower back and neck pain. In IDD, the most affected component of the intervertebral disc is the nucleus pulposus (NP). Derived from the notochord, where cells are organized into a tandem configuration, young NP cells cluster in three‐dimensional (3D) networks embedded in a gelatinous ...

Distinct core promoter codes drive transcription initiation at key developmental transitions in a marine chordate [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Development is largely driven by transitions between transcriptional programs. The initiation of transcription at appropriate sites in the genome is a key component of this and yet few rules governing selection are known.

ANP (Atrial Natriuretic Peptide) presence in the heart of a tunicate, Ciona intestinalis.
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010 Atrial natriuretic peptide was found in the heart of vertebrates, we studied the ANP presence in the heart of Ciona intestinalis. This is animal is very important because of the its evolutionary position between invertebrates and vertebrates.
