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.

Studying Placozoa WBR in the Simplest Metazoan Animal, Trichoplax adhaerens.
Methods Mol Biol, 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.

Identificación y revisión bibliográfica del antecesor de Eumetazoa: "Trichoplax adhaerens" [PDF]
, 2020 The phylum placozoa is a group of primitive animals with great evolutionary and pharmacological interest. It is represented by a few genus, when Trichoplax and its representative species T. adhaerens are most studied. In this work, the knowledge of this species has been bibliographically reviewed, both from an evolutionary point of view and relative to

Growth produces coordination trade-offs in Trichoplax adhaerens, an animal lacking a central nervous system. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 International audienceHow collectives remain coordinated as they grow in size is a fundamental challenge affecting systems ranging from biofilms to governments.

The early ANTP gene repertoire: insights from the placozoan genome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 The evolution of ANTP genes in the Metazoa has been the subject of conflicting hypotheses derived from full or partial gene sequences and genomic organization in higher animals.

Amino acids integrate behaviors in nerveless placozoans
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Placozoans are the simplest known free-living animals without recognized neurons and muscles but a complex behavioral repertoire. However, mechanisms and cellular bases of behavioral coordination are unknown.

Comparative genomics and the nature of placozoan species. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2018 Placozoans are a phylum of nonbilaterian marine animals currently represented by a single described species, Trichoplax adhaerens, Schulze 1883. Placozoans arguably show the simplest animal morphology, which is identical among isolates collected ...

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 91, Issue 11, Page 1510-1524, November 2023., 2023 Abstract The hypoxia‐inducible factor (HIF) prolyl‐hydroxylases (human PHD1‐3) catalyze prolyl hydroxylation in oxygen‐dependent degradation (ODD) domains of HIFα isoforms, modifications that signal for HIFα proteasomal degradation in an oxygen‐dependent manner. PHD inhibitors are used for treatment of anemia in kidney disease. Increased erythropoietin

Why Homoscleromorph Sponges Have Ciliated Epithelia: Evidence for an Ancestral Role in Mucociliary Driven Particle Flux. [PDF]
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev EvolEpithelia are typically ciliated, except in sponges. Of all Porifera only Homoscleromorphs have motile cilia on their epithelia. Our data highlight the presence of cilia and mucociliary particle transport as a common feature of metazoa and a secondary loss in other sponge lineages.
