The paper isolates and characterizes microcellular organisms from mammalian cancers, showing they have RNA-based genetics, reverse transcriptase activity, and oncogenic potential.

The paper compares cell-like entities from mammalian tissues with Precambrian microfossils, finding morphological and biochemical similarities suggesting biologically active systems in both.

This study characterizes the transcriptomic and cellular dynamics of whole CNS regeneration in the tunicate Polycarpa mytiligera, identifying key pathways and markers involved in the process.

The paper analyzes extracellular vesicles in amniotic fluid from normal and preeclampsia pregnancies, finding increased CD105+ EVs and antiangiogenic effects in preeclampsia.

The paper studies neurodegeneration in the colonial chordate Botryllus schlosseri, finding conserved mechanisms between tunicates and humans.

This study compares molecular and morphological signatures in two developmental pathways of tunicates, finding distinct molecular programs but shared stem cell profiles.
