Apoptosis and cell cycle regulation in a basal model system : insights from the placozoan Trichoplax adhaerens [PDF]

, 2020
Complex gene networks regulated by master control genes are critical for the coordination of fundamental molecular and cellular processes in metazoans. Their misfunction might cause severe diseases like cancer.

A Na+ leak channel cloned from Trichoplax adhaerens extends extracellular pH and Ca2+ sensing for the DEG/ENaC family close to the base of Metazoa

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2019
Acid-sensitive ion channels belonging to the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) family activate in response to extracellular protons and are considered unique to deuterostomes. However, sensitivity to pH/protons is more widespread, where, for

Nitric oxide (NO) signaling in Trichoplax and related species: Microchemical characterization and the lineage-specific diversification

bioRxiv, 2020
Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical gaseous messenger with a broad distribution across the animal kingdom. However, the early evolution of nitric oxide-mediated signaling in animals is unclear due to limited information about prebilaterian metazoans such

Insights into the evolution of digestive systems from studies of Trichoplax adhaerens

Cell and Tissue Research, 2019
Trichoplax, a member of the phylum Placozoa, is a tiny ciliated marine animal that glides on surfaces feeding on algae and cyanobacteria. It stands out from other animals in that it lacks an internal digestive system and, instead, digests food trapped ...

Features of a novel protein, rusticalin, from the ascidian Styela rustica reveal ancestral horizontal gene transfer event

Mobile DNA, 2019
Background The transfer of genetic material from non-parent organisms is called horizontal gene transfer (HGT). One of the most conclusive cases of HGT in metazoans was previously described for the cellulose synthase gene in ascidians.

CELL TYPES DIVERSITY OF H4 HAPLOTYPE PLACOZOA SP.

, 2019
Placozoa is one of the five basal metazoan lineages critical for our understanding of animal evolution in general, and the origin of neuromuscular organization in particular.

Data-Driven Analysis of the Trichoplax Adhaerens [PDF]

, 2023
Biological systems, particularly animals, are a hotspot of highly sophisticated and non-trivial dynamics. They consist of a myriad of motile self-driven and simultaneously interacting entities.

Trichoplax genomes reveal profound admixture and suggest stable wild populations without bisexual reproduction

Scientific Reports, 2018
The phylum Placozoa officially consists of only a single described species, Trichoplax adhaerens, although several lineages can be separated by molecular markers, geographical distributions and environmental demands.

From tumors to species: a SCANDAL hypothesis

Biology Direct, 2019
Some tumor cells can evolve into transmissible parasites. Notable examples include the Tasmanian devil facial tumor disease, the canine transmissible venereal tumor and transmissible cancers of mollusks.

A conserved cluster of three PRD-class homeobox genes (homeobrain, rx and orthopedia) in the Cnidaria and Protostomia

EvoDevo, 2010
Background Homeobox genes are a superclass of transcription factors with diverse developmental regulatory functions, which are found in plants, fungi and animals.
