The paper identifies two distinct origins for neural cells in Clytia planula larva development: one from Piwi/Nanos-expressing interstitial cells and another from ectodermal delamination during gastrulation.

The paper investigates ZGA timing across 61 animal species and finds that genome size to cytoplasm volume ratio predicts ZGA onset.

The paper compares cell atlases of Clytia hemisphaerica planula and medusa stages using single-cell transcriptomics to identify stage-specific cell types and their transcriptional profiles.

The paper presents a whole-animal transcriptomic cell atlas of Clytia hemisphaerica using multiplexed scRNA-seq to study cell type plasticity under starvation.

The paper characterizes cell shape changes during planula formation in Clytia hemisphaerica using microscopy and links these changes to gene expression patterns during gastrulation.

This study shows that mechanical forces, cell migration, and Wnt signaling drive rapid regeneration of the manubrium in Clytia hemisphaerica fragments.

This study identifies a G-protein-coupled receptor (MIHR) in the jellyfish Clytia that mediates neuropeptide-induced oocyte maturation and shows its functional role in gamete development and spawning.

This paper describes an improved culture protocol for Clytia hemisphaerica, enabling the maintenance of its entire life cycle in the lab through optimized feeding and metamorphosis induction.
