Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 826-847, April 2026.ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fraternal cooperation of hierarchical cancer parallels metazoan multicellularity and eusociality
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 400-418, February 2026.ABSTRACT Metazoan multicellularity and eusociality — both outcomes of the fraternal major transitions — have numerous features in common such as uneven distribution of group‐establishing potential. In addition to this framework, I argue herein that the group‐forming principles of metazoan multicellularity and eusociality are analogous to hierarchical ...

Effects of tributyltin chloride in ascidian embryos: modulation of kinase-mediated signalling pathways [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2009 We studied the effects of various TBT concentrations by assaying the activity of ERK 1/2 (p44/42) and phospho-ERK1/2 (phospho-p44/42), proteins with a key role in ascidian development, and tyrosine kinase-dependent pathway. The effects of this xenobiotic

Tributyltin affects phagocytic activity of Ciona intestinalis hemocytes [PDF]
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Endocrinology, 1995 Organotin compounds have been used in marine anti-fouling paints as biocides. Because tunicates are vulnerable to these compounds in their natural habitats, we used Ciona intestinalis to establish an assay for phagocytosis in vitro of yeast by hemocytes after exposure to different concentrations (0.0015, 0.015, 0.15 and 1.5 microM) of four organotin ...

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 3, 19 January 2026.The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Huntingtin gene evolution in Chordata and its peculiar features in the ascidian
BMC Genomics, 2006 Background To gain insight into the evolutionary features of the huntingtin (htt) gene in Chordata, we have sequenced and characterized the full-length htt mRNA in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis, a basal chordate emerging as new invertebrate model ...
