On the hormonal control of posterior regeneration in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii

This study shows that brain hormones, specifically methylfarnesoate, are essential for posterior regeneration in Platynereis dumerilii, and their absence after decapitation impairs regeneration.

OTX2 homeoprotein functions in adult choroid plexus

This study identifies OTX2's roles in adult choroid plexus function through knockdown models and proteomic analysis, revealing its impact on secretion, immune responses, and RNA processing.

DNA methylation during development and regeneration of the annelid Platynereis dumerilii

This study investigates DNA methylation in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii during development and regeneration, showing high levels of 5mC methylation and its role in stem cell function and growth.

Otx2 signals from the choroid plexus to regulate adult neurogenesis

The paper shows OTX2 secreted by the choroid plexus regulates adult neurogenesis by affecting astrocytes and extracellular matrix, reducing newborn neurons in the olfactory bulb.

Morphological, cellular and molecular characterization of posterior regeneration in the marine annelid Platynereis dumerilii

This study characterizes posterior regeneration in Platynereis dumerilii, showing a rapid, reproducible process with specific stages and local blastema formation.
