Trichoplax adhaerens F. E. Schulze (Placozoa): The Formation of Swarmers
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1988 Abstract Flageilated swarmers representing an alternative mode of asexual reproduction are budded off as hollow spheres at the dorsal surface. They are covered by cells of the dorsal epithelium and the interior cavity is lined by ventral epithelium. Fiber cells are in the interspace.

Proteoglycans in mechanobiology of tissues and organs: Normal functions and mechanopathology
Proteoglycan Research, Volume 2, Issue 2, April-June 2024.Abstract Proteoglycans (PGs) are a diverse class of glycoconjugates that serve critical functions in normal mechanobiology and mechanopathology. Both the protein cores and attached glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains function in mechanically sensitive processes, and loss of either can contribute to development of pathological conditions. PGs function as key

Importance of fatty acid binding proteins in cellular function and organismal metabolism
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 28, Issue 5, March 2024.Abstract Fatty acid binding proteins (Fabps) are small soluble proteins that are abundant in the cytosol. These proteins are known to bind a myriad of small hydrophobic molecules and have been postulated to serve a variety of roles, yet their precise functions have remained an enigma over half a century of study.

Emergence, development and diversification of the TGF-
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background The question of how genomic processes, such as gene duplication, give rise to co-ordinated organismal properties, such as emergence of new body plans, organs and lifestyles, is of importance in developmental and evolutionary biology.

Growth and Behavior of Trichoplax adhaerens: First Record of the Phylum Placozoa in Hawaii [PDF]
, 1989 I report here the first record of Trichoplax adhaerens F. E. Schulze (phylum Placozoa) in Hawaii. Individuals were found on glass slides placed in the seawater system of the Pacific Biomedical Research Center on Kewalo Basin, Oahu, during November and

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background The Sp-family of transcription factors are evolutionarily conserved zinc finger proteins present in many animal species. The orthology of the Sp genes in different animals is unclear and their evolutionary history is therefore controversially ...
