Single‐Cell Sequencing: A Sharp Sword for Deciphering Biological Innovations and Evolutionary Adaptations in Lower Vertebrates and Invertebrates

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 4, September 2025.
Single‐cell sequencing sheds light on cellular diversity, development, and immune evolution in fish and invertebrates, offering new insights into environmental adaptation and evolutionary biology. ABSTRACT Single‐cell sequencing (SCS) technology has revolutionized the study of cellular heterogeneity by enabling the exploration of biological processes ...

Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate Nephrocyte Injury and Proteinuria in a Diabetic Nephropathy Rat Model

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Research, 2020
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are shown to alleviate renal injury of diabetic nephropathy (DN) in rats. However, the underlying mechanism of this beneficial effect is not fully understood.

On the Nephrocytes of Pediculus humanus

open access: yesParasitology, 1921
In Pediculus humanus are found two groups of excretory-accumulatory cells known as nephrocytes.The one group, the peri-oesophageal, lies ventrally and consists of large cells aggregated usually in two masses about the oesophagus anterior to the reniform salivary glands.The second group lies dorsally and consists of disseminated cell aggregates linked ...

The Life of a Kidney Podocyte

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 241, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Podocytes, highly specialized epithelial cells located in the glomerulus of the kidney, are essential to the filtration barrier that ensures separation of blood and urine. These cells exhibit a unique architecture, characterized by an intricate network of foot processes interconnected by slit diaphragms, which serve as a critical selective

The Fruit Fly, Drosophila melanogaster: Modeling of Human Diseases (Part II) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster (Meigen, 1830) has been established as a key model organism thanks in part to their considerable biological similarity to mammals and an abundance of available genetic tools.

Diet-Induced Podocyte Dysfunction in Drosophila and Mammals

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
Diabetic nephropathy is a major cause of end-stage kidney disease. Characterized by progressive microvascular disease, most efforts have focused on injury to the glomerular endothelium.

Extracellular matrix induced by steroids and aging through a G-protein-coupled receptor in a Drosophila model of renal fibrosis

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2020
Aldosterone is produced by the mammalian adrenal cortex to modulate blood pressure and fluid balance; however, excessive, prolonged aldosterone promotes fibrosis and kidney failure.

Histological Differences between the Color Patterns of Two Strains of the Compound Ascidian Polyandrocarpa misakiensis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
We examined histological differences between the color patterns of two strains of the compound styelid ascidian Polyandrocarpa misakiensis. Two strains in this species show different color patterns.

Evolved and Plastic Gene Expression in Adaptation of a Specialist Fly to a Novel Niche

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, February 2025.
ABSTRACT How gene expression evolves to enable divergent ecological adaptation and how changes in gene expression relate to genomic architecture are pressing questions for understanding the mechanisms enabling adaptation and ecological speciation. Furthermore, how plasticity in gene expression can both contribute to and be affected by the process of ...

Origin and evolution of microvilli

open access: yesBiology of the Cell, Volume 116, Issue 11, November 2024.
Microvilli are widespread organelles of animal cells that frequently play a role in sensation and feeding. Ansel et al. reconstitute their origin and evolution by performing a broad morphological survey of microvilli in animals and their unicellular relatives, coupled with a bioinformatic study of the phylogenetic distribution of the main microvillar ...
