Physiological insight into the conserved properties of Caenorhabditis elegans acid‐sensing degenerin/epithelial sodium channels

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1625-1653, 1 May 2023., 2023
Abstract figure legend Polar view of a phylogram of representative members of the DEG/ENaC superfamily, coloured according to phylum (Annelida, yellow; Arthropoda, light green; Chordata, dark green; Cnidaria, blue; Mollusca, dark purple; Nematoda, magenta; Placozoa, red). Construction of the phylogram is described in Fig. 1.

Placozoan fiber cells: mediators of innate immunity and participants in wound healing

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Placozoa is a phylum of non-bilaterian marine animals. These small, flat organisms adhere to the substrate via their densely ciliated ventral epithelium, which mediates mucociliary locomotion and nutrient uptake.

Ndst1, a heparan sulfate modification enzyme, regulates neuroectodermal patterning by enhancing Wnt signaling in Xenopus

open access: yesDevelopment, Growth &Differentiation, Volume 65, Issue 3, Page 153-160, April 2023., 2023
ndst1 is expressed in anterior neural plate and the trigeminal region in Xenopus neurula. It enhances Wnt signaling in a region‐specific manner by accumulating Wnt ligand. This makes a clear boundary of Wnt signaling, and governs neuroectodermal patterning.

Transcription‐independent functions of p53 in DNA repair pathway selection

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Transcription‐independent early recruitment and PARylation of p53 at DNA damage sites promotes the recruitment of particular repair factors (e.g. DDB1 and 53BP1) and thereby tipping the balance of repair pathway selection. Abstract Recently discovered transcription‐independent features of p53 involve the choice of DNA damage repair pathway after ...

A review of the methods used to induce cancer in invertebrates to study its effects on the evolution of species and ecosystem functioning

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1885-1898, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Cancer is an understudied but important process in wildlife that is predicted to have a significant effect on the evolution of metazoan species due to negative effects on host fitness. However, gaining understanding of the impact of cancer on species and ecosystems is currently relatively slow as the development of both animal models in which ...

Apicortin, a Constituent of Apicomplexan Conoid/Apical Complex and Its Tentative Role in Pathogen—Host Interaction

open access: yesTropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2021
In 2009, apicortin was identified in silico as a characteristic protein of apicomplexans that also occurs in the placozoa, Trichoplax adhaerens. Since then, it has been found that apicortin also occurs in free-living cousins of apicomplexans (chromerids)

Comparative genomics of neuroglobin reveals its early origins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Neuroglobin (Ngb) is a hexacoordinated globin expressed mainly in the central and peripheral nervous system of vertebrates. Although several hypotheses have been put forward regarding the role of neuroglobin, its definite function remains uncertain.

Field Biology of Placozoans (Trichoplax) [PDF]

open access: yesIntegrative 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.

Expanding of Life Strategies in Placozoa: Insights From Long-Term Culturing of Trichoplax and Hoilungia

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Placozoans are essential reference species for understanding the origins and evolution of animal organization. However, little is known about their life strategies in natural habitats.
