Evolution of iGluR ligand specificity, polyamine regulation, and ion selectivity inferred from a placozoan epsilon receptor

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Epsilon ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are a recently defined clade of neurotransmitter receptors that are found in all major metazoan lineages that are distinct from α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), kainate, delta ...

Placozoan secretory cell types implicated in feeding, innate immunity and regulation of behavior.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Placozoa 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.

Identificación y revisión bibliográfica del antecesor de Eumetazoa: "Trichoplax adhaerens"

open access: yes, 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

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 ...

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.

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.

My favorite animal, Trichoplax adhaerens

BioEssays, 2005
AbstractTrichoplax 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, 2015
Trichoplax 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
