The nascent RNA labelling compound 5-ethynyl uridine (EU)integrates into DNA in some animals

This study shows that the RNA labeling compound EU integrates into DNA in some animal species, raising concerns about its specificity for RNA labeling.

Molecular profile, source and lineage restriction of stem cells in an annelid regeneration model

The paper maps cellular profiles and lineage restrictions during posterior regeneration in Platynereis dumerilii using single-cell RNA sequencing and mosaic transgenesis, revealing molecular parallels with vertebrate regeneration.

A c-opsin functions in a ciliary-marginal zone-like stem cell region of an invertebrate camera-type eye

The paper identifies neural stem cells in the adult eye of Platynereis dumerilii that express c-opsin1 and show proliferation patterns similar to vertebrate ciliary marginal zone stem cells.

Elongation capacity of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii

This study identifies and functionally characterizes Elovl proteins in Platynereis dumerilii, revealing their role in LC-PUFA biosynthesis and a unique KH domain in one Elovl4 gene.

A fast and versatile method for simultaneous HCR, immunohistochemistry and EdU labeling (SHInE)

The paper introduces a method for simultaneous HCR, immunohistochemistry, and EdU labeling to analyze gene expression, protein localization, and cell proliferation in complex tissues.

A Cryptochrome adopts distinct moon- and sunlight states and functions as moonlight interpreter in monthly oscillator entrainment

This paper identifies L-Cryptochrome as a moonlight interpreter that distinguishes between sun- and moonlight to regulate monthly oscillator entrainment in Platynereis dumerilii.

Two light sensors decode moonlight versus sunlight to adjust a plastic circadian/circalunidian clock to moon phase

The paper identifies two light sensors in Platynereis dumerilii that distinguish moonlight from sunlight to adjust a circadian clock to moon phase.

Analyses of cephalic and non-cephalic sensory cell types provide insight into joint photo- and mechanoreceptor evolution

The paper analyzes sensory cell types in Platynereis dumerilii to explore the evolutionary relationship between photo- and mechanoreceptors, finding that r-Opsin1 modulates mechanosensation through light-dependent mechanisms.

A scalable culturing system for the marine annelid Platynereis dumerilii.

This paper introduces scalable culturing methods for Platynereis dumerilii to improve experimental control and standardization.
