The paper identifies region-specific signaling cues that control stem cell-mediated regeneration in the invertebrate chordate Ciona robusta.

This study investigates age-related changes in germline stem cells (GSCs) in the protochordate Botryllus schlosseri using single-cell RNA sequencing and transplantation assays, revealing that GSCs, not gametes, drive reproductive aging.

sc-SPLASH enables reference-free discovery in scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics, uncovering novel transcriptomic features like V(D)J recombination and secreted repeat proteins.

This paper develops a method to isolate live cells from the regenerative tunicate Polycarpa mytiligera, enabling functional analyses and gene expression studies.

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 identifies age-specific circadian gene expression patterns in Botryllus schlosseri and links them to aging phenotypes and pathways.

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