Cytotoxic activity of Ciona intestinalis (Tunicata) hemocytes: Properties of the in vitro reaction against erythrocyte targets [PDF]
, 1993 Hemocytes (effectors) of Ciona intestinalis showed a natural cytotoxic capacity (HCA) when assayed in vitro against erythrocytes (targets). Cytotoxic cells lysed, to a variable extent, rabbit (RE), human (A, B, O), guinea pig, and sheep (SE) erythrocytes.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 23, Issue 10, Page 700-714, October 2025.Abstract Marine and coastal ecosystems have been undergoing dramatic shifts due to global environmental changes. The rise in seawater temperature, ocean acidification, hypoxia, eutrophication, and anthropogenic pollution severely affects marine organisms.

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.

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 56, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract The aquaculture of Argopecten purpuratus (Peruvian scallop) is a profitable activity with positive impacts on the local economy. However, the development of biofouling on the culture lantern nets generates negative environmental impacts that affect its sustainability.

A basal chordate model for studies of gut microbial immune interactions
Frontiers in Immunology, 2012 Complex symbiotic interactions at the surface of host epithelia govern most encounters between host and microbe. The epithelium of the gut is a physiologically ancient structure that is comprised of a single layer of cells and is thought to possess fully

Karyotyping and localization of genes on the chromosomes of the sea urchins, Strongylocentrotus drobachiensis and Strongylocentrotus purpuratus [PDF]
, 2009 The purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus , is an important model for probing gene interactions during animal development and is the only non-chordate deuterostome for which a complete genome sequence is available.
