Tissues of multicellular animals are maintained due to a tight balance between cell
proliferation and programmed cell death. Sponges are early branching metazoans essential …

Sponges (phylum Porifera) are highly specialized filter-feeding metazoans, pum** and
filtering water with a network of canals and chambers, the aquiferous system. Most sponges …

The comparative study of the four non‐bilaterian phyla (Cnidaria, Placozoa, Ctenophora,
and Porifera) provides insights into the origin of bilaterian traits. To complete our knowledge …

The integumentary system is the set of organs forming the outermost layer of an animal's
body. It comprises the epithelium, muscles, and elements of connective and nerve tissue …

The crucial step in any regeneration process is epithelization, ie the restoration of an
epithelium structural and functional integrity. Epithelization requires cytoskeletal …

In this study, we present the first integrative revision of the Boreal and Arctic calcareous
sponges of the genus Leucosolenia with a specific focus on its biodiversity in the White Sea …

Sponges (phylum Porifera) exhibit surprisingly complex tissue dynamics, maintaining
constant cell turnover and migration, rearranging internal structures, and regenerating after …

Nudibranchia is a group of shell-less heterobranch gastropods characterized by highly
specialized chemosensory cephalic organs known as rhinophores. Whereas the …
