Active mode of excretion across digestive tissues predates the origin of excretory organs
Andrikou, Carmen; Thiel, Daniel; Ruiz-Santiesteban, Juan A.; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Most bilaterian animals excrete toxic metabolites through specialized organs, such as nephridia and kidneys, which share morphological and functional correspondences. In contrast, excretion in non-nephrozoans is largely ... -
FGF signaling acts on different levels of mesoderm development within Spiralia
Andrikou, Carmen; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)FGF signaling is involved in mesoderm induction in members of deuterostomes (e.g. tunicates, hemichordates), but not in flies and nematodes, in which it has a role in mesoderm patterning and migration. However, we need ... -
Molecular evidence for a single origin of ultrafiltration-based excretory organs
Gasiorowski, Ludwik; Andrikou, Carmen; Bump, Paul; Lowe, Christopher J.; Janssen, Ralf; Budd, Graham E.; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Excretion is an essential physiological process, carried out by all living organisms, regardless of their size or complexity.1, 2, 3 Both protostomes (e.g., flies and flatworms) and deuterostomes (e.g., humans and sea ... -
Molecular patterning during the development of Phoronopsis harmeri reveals similarities to rhynchonelliform brachiopods
Andrikou, Carmen; Passamaneck, Yale J; Lowe, Christopher J.; Martindale, Mark Q.; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: Phoronids, rhynchonelliform and linguliform brachiopods show striking similarities in their embryonic fate maps, in particular in their axis specification and regionalization. However, although brachiopod ...
