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 ... -
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 ...
