Dissecting a peptidergic signaling pathway in Trichoplax adhaerens by gene silencing
Current BiologyTrichoplax adhaerens, a simple multicellular marine organism from the phylum Placozoa,1,2 is one of the most basal metazoan lineages, alongside Ctenophora, Porifera, and Cnidaria.3,4,5 With its remarkably simple body plan,6,7Trichoplax provides valuable insights into the evolution of multicellularity.8,9 Interestingly, despite lacking true tissues and ...

Trichoplax adhaerens, an Enigmatic Basal Metazoan with Potential
2014Trichoplax adhaerens is an enigmatic basal animal with an extraordinarily simple morphological organization and surprisingly complex behaviors. Basic morphological, molecular and behavioral work is essential to better understand the unique and curious life style of these organisms.

The cytoskeleton of the fiber cells of Trichoplax adhaerens (Placozoa)
Zoomorphology, 1986The cytoskeleton of Trichoplax adhaerens fiber cells was studied after chemical fixation, freeze-substitution, lysis of attached cells with nonionic detergents and by immunofluorescence. Cytoskeletal elements present in the cell bodies and reaching into the extensions include microtubules, intermediate filaments, 6–7 nm and 2–3 nm microfilaments.

My favorite animal, Trichoplax adhaerens
BioEssays, 2005AbstractTrichoplax adhaerens is more simply organized than any other living metazoan. This tiny marine animal looks like a irregular “hairy plate” (“tricho plax”) with a simple upper and lower epithelium and some loose cells in between. After its original description by F.E.

Bioinformatic prediction of Trichoplax adhaerens regulatory peptides
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2015Trichoplax adhaerens (phylum Placozoa) is a very simple organism that lacks a nervous system. However, its genome contains many genes essential for neuronal function and development. I report the results of regulatory peptide predictions for this enigmatic animal. Extensive transcriptome, genome, and predicted proteome mining allowed us to predict four

Expression pattern of the homeobox gene Not in the basal metazoan Trichoplax adhaerens
Gene Expression Patterns, 2004The homeobox gene Not is highly conserved in Xenopus, chicken and zebrafish with an apparent role in notochord formation, which inspired the name of this distinct subfamily. Interestingly, Not genes are also well conserved in animals without notochord such as sea urchins, Drosophila or even Hydra, but appear to be highly derived in mammals.

Disaggregation and Reaggregation of Cells of the Primitive Metazoon Trichoplax adhaerens
Differentiation, 1979Trichoplax cells can be dispersed after the action of colchicine, vinblastine, and sea water free of divalent ions. Since lumicolchicine, which is inactive against microtubules can also cause disaggregation, the plant alkaloids are thought to be bound to components of the cell membrane involved in cellular adhesion. After washing, the cells reaggregate

Functional Studies of Trichoplax adhaerens Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel Activity
2020Trichoplax adhaerens is a member of the phylum Placozoa, an enigmatic group of benthic animals with remarkably simple morphology. While initial work on these organisms has primarily focused on their morphology and the development of genomic resources, Trichoplax has received increased attention as a model for studying the evolution of nervous and ...

The Placozoa represent one of the early metazoan branches and are of interest for comparative studieson several evolutionary aspects in the Metazoa. Despite of the relatively simple placozoan morphology,many functional aspects remain partly or completely unknown.
