      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 ...
    • Peripheral and central employment of acid-sensing ion channels during early bilaterian evolution 

      Marti Solans, Josep; Børve, Aina; Bump, Paul; Hejnol, Andreas; Lynagh, Timothy Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Nervous systems are endowed with rapid chemosensation and intercellular signaling by ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs). While a complex, bilaterally symmetrical nervous system is a major innovation of bilaterian animals, ...
