    • The cellular basis of feeding-dependent body size plasticity in sea anemones 

      Garschall, Kathrin; Pascual Carreras, Eudald; Pascual, Belen Garcia; Filimonova, Daria; Guse, Annika; Johnston, Iain George; Steinmetz, Patrick (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Many animals share a lifelong capacity to adapt their growth rates and body sizes to changing environmental food supplies. However, the cellular and molecular basis underlying this plasticity remains only poorly understood. ...

    • Cnidofest 2022: hot topics in cnidarian research 

      Gahan, James Michael; Cartwright, Paulyn; Nicotra, Matthew L.; Schnitzler, Christine E.; Steinmetz, Patrick; Juliano, Celina E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-24)
      The second annual Cnidarian Model Systems Meeting, aka “Cnidofest”, took place in Davis, California from 7 to 10th of September, 2022. The meeting brought together scientists using cnidarians to study molecular and cellular ...

    • Evolutionarily conserved aspects of animal nutrient uptake and transport in sea anemone vitellogenesis 

      Lebouvier, Marion; Miramon Puertolas, Paula; Steinmetz, Patrick (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The emergence of systemic nutrient transport was a key challenge during animal evolution, yet it is poorly understood. Circulatory systems distribute nutrients in many bilaterians (e.g., vertebrates and arthropods) but are ...

    • Muscle cell-type diversification is driven by bHLH transcription factor expansion and extensive effector gene duplications 

      Cole, Alison G.; Jahnel, Stefan M.; Kaul, Sabrina; Steger, Julia; Hagauer, Julia; Denner, Andreas; Murguia, Patricio Ferrer; Taudes, Elisabeth; Zimmermann, Bob; Reischl, Robert; Steinmetz, Patrick; Technau, Ulrich (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Animals are typically composed of hundreds of different cell types, yet mechanisms underlying the emergence of new cell types remain unclear. Here we address the origin and diversification of muscle cells in the non-bilaterian, ...

    • A non-bilaterian perspective on the development and evolution of animal digestive systems 

      Steinmetz, Patrick (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-07)
      Digestive systems and extracellular digestion are key animal features, but their emergence during early animal evolution is currently poorly understood. As the last common ancestor of non-bilaterian animal groups (sponges, ...

    • NvPrdm14d-expressing neural progenitor cells contribute to non-ectodermal neurogenesis in Nematostella vectensis 

      Lemaitre, Quentin Indiana Bruno; Bartsch, Natascha; Kouzel, Ivan; Busengdal, Henriette; Richards, Gemma Sian; Steinmetz, Patrick; Rentzsch, Fabian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Neurogenesis has been studied extensively in the ectoderm, from which most animals generate the majority of their neurons. Neurogenesis from non-ectodermal tissue is, in contrast, poorly understood. Here we use the cnidarian ...
