Quantification of Telomerase Activity in Colonial Ascidians

The FASEB Journal, 2016
Colonial ascidians are marine invertebrate chordates that reproduce sexually and asexually, and are also capable of whole body regeneration in response to damage. Telomerase is required to maintain chromosome length in all eukaryotic cells that divide indefinitely; it is therefore expressed in stem cells and is hypothesized to be ...

Colony specificity and chemotaxis in the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2006
We re-investigated the behavior of hemocytes during the non-fusion (rejection) reaction between genetically incompatible colonies of the ascidian Botryllus schlosseri. In the course of the reaction, hemocytes - mainly morula cells - crowd inside the blind ends of marginal vascular vessels (known as ampullae) of the colonial leading edge (LE) facing the

Whole body regeneration in a colonial ascidian, Botrylloides violaceus

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2009
Abstract Colonial ascidians are the only chordates to undergo whole body regeneration (WBR), the ability to form an entirely new individual from the peripheral vasculature. Here we describe WBR in Botrylloides violaceus , a colonial ascidian that reliably regenerates after ...

The adaptive value of larval behavior of a colonial ascidian

Marine Biology, 1993
Didemnum candidum Savigny, 1816 is an abundant member of the fouling community encrusting docks in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In the laboratory, larvae of D. candidum are positively phototactic upon release, but become indifferent to the direction of light prior to settlement.
