Inflammatory hemocytes in Ciona intestinalis innate immune response [PDF]

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2009
In the present paper an attempt is carried out to revise Ciona intestinalis inflammatory hemocytes according to their morphology as formerly observed by light and electron microscopy, and taking in account recent reports on innate immunity gene ...

The integrins of the urochordate Ciona intestinalis provide novel insights into the molecular evolution of the vertebrate integrin family

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2005
Background Integrins are a functionally significant family of metazoan cell surface adhesion receptors. The receptors are dimers composed of an alpha and a beta chain.

Serotonin system in tunicates: insight from morphological and molecular approaches

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Serotonin (5 hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a biogenic amine of ancient origin that is widespread among animals. It plays multiple roles during development and in adults as neurotransmitter at synaptic level and neuro hormone controlling complex behaviors ...

Molecular cytogenetic characterization of Ciona intestinalis chromosomes [PDF]

, 2005
The compact genome of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis has been sequenced. Chromosome karyotype and mapping of the genome sequence information on each of the 14 pairs of chromosomes are essential for genome-wide studies of gene expression and function in ...

Non-coding RNAs in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]

, 2018
Motivation: The analysis of animal genomes showed that only a minute part of their DNA codes for proteins. Recent experimental results agree, however, that a large fraction of these genomes are transcribed and hence are probably functional at the RNA ...
