Trichoplax adhaerens reveals a network of nuclear receptors sensitive to 9-cis-retinoic acid at the base of metazoan evolution [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Trichoplax adhaerens, the only known species of Placozoa is likely to be closely related to an early metazoan that preceded branching of Cnidaria and Bilateria.

Multi-domain O-GlcNAcase structures reveal allosteric regulatory mechanisms [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsNucleocytoplasmic protein O-GlcNAcylation is a dynamic modification catalysed by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and reversed by O-GlcNAc hydrolase (OGA), whose activities are regulated through largely unknown O-GlcNAc-dependent feedback mechanisms.

Placozoan secretory cell types implicated in feeding, innate immunity and regulation of behavior. [PDF]
PLoS ONEPlacozoa are millimeter-sized, flat, irregularly shaped ciliated animals that crawl on surfaces in warm oceans feeding on biofilms, which they digest externally. They stand out from other animals due to their simple body plans.

Evolution of iGluR ligand specificity, polyamine regulation, and ion selectivity inferred from a placozoan epsilon receptor [PDF]
Communications BiologyEpsilon ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are a recently defined clade of neurotransmitter receptors that are found in all major metazoan lineages that are distinct from α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), kainate, delta ...

Field biology of placozoans (Trichoplax): distribution, diversity, biotic interactions [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2007 The goal of this review is to highlight what little is known, and point to the bulk of what is yet to be learned, about the natural history of placozoans in the field-in order to stimulate a broader search for placozoans and a fuller exploration of their distribution, diversity, and all other aspects of their enigmatic lives.

Studying Placozoa WBR in the Simplest Metazoan Animal, Trichoplax adhaerens [PDF]
, 2022 AbstractPlacozoans are a promising model system to study fundamental regeneration processes in a morphologically and genetically very simple animal. We here provide a brief introduction to the enigmatic Placozoa and summarize the state of the art of animal handling and experimental manipulation possibilities.

Das radialpolare Differenzierungsmuster bei Trichoplax adhaerens F. E. Schulze (Placozoa) / The Radial Polar Pattern of Differentiation in Trichoplax adhaerens F. E. Schulze (Placozoa) [PDF]
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1984 Abstract In contrast with the outmost uniform aspect of Trichoplax there is a clear cut differentiation between marginal and central cell territories. Dissection and transplantation as well as vital staining show that the marginal material is restricted to a seam approximately 20 μm in width, surrounding the much larger mass of central ...
