This study shows that starvation induces reversible G1/G0 arrest in Vasa2+/Piwi1+ cells of Nematostella vectensis, with refeeding-dependent TOR signaling controlling cell cycle re-entry.

The paper identifies and characterizes a multipotent stem-like cell population in Nematostella vectensis that generates both germline and somatic cells, including neurons.

The paper studies how feeding and starvation affect body size and cellular processes in sea anemones, finding that cell cycle shifts and growth rates are nutritionally regulated.

The paper identifies FoxG as an upstream regulator of wnt1 involved in posterior identity specification during planarian regeneration through genomic analyses.

This study identifies and characterizes Fox genes in Schmidtea mediterranea, revealing new families and a conserved role of Smed-foxO in cell death regulation.
