Polymodal sensory perception of mechanical and chemical cues drives robust settlement and metamorphosis of a marine pre-vertebrate zooplanktonic larva.

This study identifies polymodal sensory cells and neuronal sub-populations in Ciona intestinalis larvae that mediate settlement and metamorphosis in response to mechanical and chemical cues.

Anoctamin 10/TMEM16K mediates convergent extension and tubulogenesis during notochord formation in the early chordate Ciona intestinalis.

This study shows that Ano10/Tmem16k is required for convergent extension and tubulogenesis during notochord formation in Ciona intestinalis.

Mesmerize: a dynamically adaptable user-friendly analysis platform for 2D & 3D calcium imaging data.

Mesmerize is a user-friendly platform for analyzing 2D and 3D calcium imaging data, offering a FAIR system for processing and visualization across multiple organisms.

Mapping calcium dynamics in a developing tubular structure.

The paper maps calcium dynamics during notochord development in Ciona intestinalis and identifies key regulatory mechanisms involved in tubulogenesis.
