NvashA function reveals temporal differences in neural subtype generation in cnidarians [PDF]
Scientific ReportsUnderstanding how cnidarians pattern their nervous systems can provide insight into the ancestral mechanisms of neurogenesis that are shared with bilaterians, shedding light on the evolution of nervous systems.

Cellular and transcriptional trajectories of neural fate specification in sea anemone uncover two modes of adult neurogenesis [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsWhile neurogenesis is largely restricted to early life stages in animals, some taxa (including cnidarians, planarians and acoels) display lifelong neurogenic abilities.

The temperate coral Astrangia poculata maintains acid–base homeostasis through heat stress [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceHeat stress can disrupt acid–base homeostasis in reef-building corals and other tropical cnidarians, often leading to cellular acidosis that can undermine organismal function.

Enduring evolutionary embellishment of cloudinids in the Cambrian
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 The Ediacaran–Cambrian transition and the following Cambrian Explosion are among the most fundamental events in the evolutionary history of animals. Understanding these events is enhanced when phylogenetic linkages can be established among animal fossils

Environmentally-Driven Variation in the Physiology of a New Caledonian Reef Coral
Oceans, 2022 Given the widespread threats to coral reefs, scientists have lost the opportunity to understand the basic biology of “pristine” corals whose physiologies have not been markedly perturbed by human activity. For instance, high temperature-induced bleaching

An Organismal Perspective on the Warburg Effect and Models for Proliferation Studies
Biology, 2023 Interest in the physiology of proliferation has been generated by human proliferative diseases, i.e., cancers. A vast literature exists on the Warburg effect, which is characterized by aerobic glycolysis, diminished oxygen uptake, and lactate secretion ...
