The fates of cells from the anterior region of the ascidian neural plate are described either as neural or as mixed neural and non-neural. In Ciona intestinalis, all cellular progeny are accounted for ...

Cell Stress & Chaperones, Vol. 11, No. 1 (Spring, 2006), pp. 23-33 (11 pages) Molecular chaperones play crucial roles in various aspects of the biogenesis and maintenance of proteins in the cell. The ...

Researchers have elucidated the evolutionary origins of placodes and neural crests, which are defining features of vertebrates, through lineage tracing and genetic analysis in Ciona intestinalis, a ...

Researchers conducted single-cell gene expression analysis to uncover the effects of manipulation of the sensory cell regulator POU IV in the protovertebrate Ciona intestinalis. Alteration of POU IV ...

IN the issue of NATURE for November 3, p. 653, there appears a letter from my old friend and former colleague, Mr. H. M. Fox, in which he records an attempt which he made this summer to repeat Dr.

Let’s be honest—who hasn’t wondered what the embryonic development of a sea squirt looks like? Well, keep yourself in suspense no longer. Simply head on over to FABA, the Four-Dimensional Ascidian ...
