This study identifies rapid cytoskeletal remodeling in choanoflagellates during a flagellate-to-amoeboid switch, driven by microvillar retraction and actin cortex formation.

The paper develops a toolkit of membrane-localising tags tested across ten animal species to identify effective signals for targeting proteins to the plasma membrane.

This study shows that the choanoflagellate Choanoeca flexa forms multicellular sheets through clonal or aggregative mechanisms, adapting to environmental changes in splash pools.

This paper introduces a fast and efficient gene knockout method for Salpingoeca rosetta, demonstrating its ability to disrupt multicellular development and reveal novel phenotypes.
