Mesoglea biogenesis reveals a cryptic aboral valve for pressure regulation in cnidarian morphogenesis

Soham Basu, Peter J. Steenbergen, Florian Gabler, Alexandre Paix, Paolo Ronchi, Gleb P. Bourenkov, Thomas Schneider, Jonas Hellgoth, Anna Kreshuk, Suat Özbek, Aissam Ikmi

The paper identifies a pressure-sensitive aboral valve in cnidarians that regulates hydraulic pressure during morphogenesis through mesogleal basement membrane dynamics.

Systemic coordination of whole-body tissue remodeling in sea anemone local regeneration

Stephanie Cheung, Danila Bredikhin, Tobias Gerber, Petrus J. Steenbergen, Soham Basu, Richard Bailleul, Pauline Hansen, Alexandre Paix, Matthew Alan Benton, Hendrik C. Korswagen, Detlev Arendt, Oliver Stegle, Aissam Ikmi

This study shows that local regeneration in sea anemones triggers a systemic homeostatic response leading to whole-body tissue remodeling through proteolysis driven by metalloproteases.
