This study maps early neurogenesis in the chaetognath Spadella cephaloptera, revealing conserved and lineage-specific patterning features of neurogenic territories across Spiralia.

This study identifies glycan distribution in the reproductive and attachment systems of the chaetognath Spadella cephaloptera using histochemical and ultrastructural methods.

The paper shows BMP signaling promotes neurogenesis in cnidarians and suggests its 'anti-neural' role in vertebrates is a side effect of its ancestral function in dorsoventral patterning.

The paper examines Hox gene expression in chaetognaths, revealing an extensive repertoire among protostomes and a conserved AP patterning profile similar to the last common bilaterian ancestor.

This study uses single-nuclei transcriptomics and a newly sequenced genome to identify cell types and transcriptomic profiles related to adhesion and neurons in Spadella cephaloptera hatchlings.

The paper sequenced the quagga mussel genome to identify evolutionary adaptations for freshwater tolerance, finding expanded aquaporin genes and osmoregulatory structures involved in embryonic osmoregulation.
