A multiagent multicellular systems biology model of Trichoplax adhaerens

2008 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology, 2008
We present an agent-based simulation model of the animal Trichoplax adhaerens (phylum: Placozoa). The model attempts to simulate the whole organism based on a cellular-level description. The question we wish to address is: How does whole organism morphology and behavior emerge from cellular activity? A prototype animal model was specified, designed and

Dissecting a peptidergic signaling pathway in Trichoplax adhaerens by gene silencing

Current Biology
Trichoplax 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 ...

Morphological and physiological aspects of movement and contractility in Trichoplax adhaerens (Placozoa)

open access: yes, 2011
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.

Trichoplax adhaerens, an Enigmatic Basal Metazoan with Potential

2014
Trichoplax 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, 1986
The 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.
