Gene expression and regulation of molecules involved in pharynx inflammatory response induced by LPS in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2017 In the ascidian Ciona intestinalis, the pharynx (hemopoietic organ) connects the external environment to the gastrointestinal system for two main activities, respiration and food collection, potentially exposing the ascidian to high concentrations of ...

Refining the Ciona intestinalis model of central nervous system regeneration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND: New, practical models of central nervous system regeneration are required and should provide molecular tools and resources. We focus here on the tunicate Ciona intestinalis, which has the capacity to regenerate nerves and a complete adult ...

THE PHOTIC SENSITIVITY OF CIONA INTESTINALIS [PDF]
Journal of General Physiology, 1918 1. Ciona possesses two means of responding to an increase in the intensity of illumination. One is by means of a local reaction; the other is by a retraction reflex of the body as a whole. 2. The "ocelli" are not photoreceptors. The photosensitive area is in the intersiphonal region containing the neural mass.

ACROSOME DIFFERENTIATION IN THE SPERMATOGENESIS OF CIONA INTESTINALIS* [PDF]
Development, Growth and Differentiation, 1980 The process of acrosome formation in the course of spermatogenesis of Ciona intestinalis has been investigated. At the flute-beak-shaped tip of the head of the mature spermatozoon a small acrosomal vesicle(s) is described. The vesicles migrate to a region where the outer and inner nuclear membranes fuse thus giving rise to a "dense plate".

An organismal perspective on C. intestinalis development, origins and diversification
eLife, 2015 The ascidian Ciona intestinalis, commonly known as a ‘sea squirt’, has become an important model for embryological studies, offering a simple blueprint for chordate development.

PLoS ONE, 2017 The nervous system of ascidians is an excellent model system to provide insights into the evolutionary process of the chordate nervous system due to their phylogenetic positions as the sister group of vertebrates.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Ascidiella aspersa is an ascidian in the class of chordates—the closest relatives of vertebrates. A. aspersa is a potential model organism for bio-imaging studies due to its extremely transparent embryos as well as is a globally distributed cosmopolitan ...

Spermiotoxicity of nickel nanoparticles in the marine invertebrate Ciona intestinalis (ascidians)
Nanotoxicology, 2016 Nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) are increasingly used in modern industries as catalysts, sensors, and in electronic applications. Due to this large use, their inputs into marine environment have significantly increased; however, the potential ...
