The paper shows Notch signaling inhibits tentacle production during Hydra head regeneration, allowing hypostome/organizer formation, and identifies HyKayak as a Notch target gene.

This study uses genetic interference to investigate HvNotch's role in Hydra development, revealing its impact on regeneration, patterning, and boundary formation.

This study uses RNAseq to identify genes differentially regulated by Notch signaling inhibition in Hydra, revealing roles in nematocyte development and head organizer formation.

This study identifies conserved TNF-R family members in Hydra, showing their role in epithelial cell differentiation and potential apoptotic pathways.

The paper identifies anti-apoptotic functions of Bcl-2 and TMBIMP family proteins in Hydra, showing their conservation across metazoans.
