This study shows that Zelda, a pioneer transcription factor, is essential for proper wing disc patterning and cell fate during Drosophila regeneration, preventing structural defects in adult wings.

This paper develops a simple inland culture protocol for Ciona species, showing that body length predicts maturation and improving breeding conditions through size selection.

This paper shows that the tunicate Ciona can regenerate its heart after complete ablation, revealing evolutionary insights into regenerative cardiogenesis in chordates.
