Nakano H, Nakano A, Maeno A, Thorndyke M
Commun Biol . 2023 Feb; 6(1):172. PMID: 36805023
Xenoturbella is a marine invertebrate with a simple body plan, with recent phylogenomic studies suggesting that it forms the phylum Xenacoelomorpha together with the acoelomorphs. The phylogenetic position of the...

Byrne M, Mazzone F, Elphick M, Thorndyke M, Cisternas P
Proc Biol Sci . 2019 Apr; 286(1901):20182701. PMID: 31014214
Arm loss through a separation at a specialized autotomy plane in echinoderms is inextricably linked to regeneration, but the link between these phenomena is poorly explored. We investigated nervous system...

Ramachandra R, Namburi R, Ortega-Martinez O, Shi X, Zaia J, Dupont S, et al.
Glycobiology . 2013 Nov; 24(2):195-207. PMID: 24253764
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) isolated from brittlestars, Echinodermata class Ophiuroidea, were characterized, as part of attempts to understand the evolutionary development of these polysaccharides. A population of chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) chains...

Burns G, Thorndyke M, Peck L, Clark M
Mar Genomics . 2013 Aug; 9:9-15. PMID: 23904059
Brittle stars are included within a whole range of species, which contribute to knowledge in the medically important area of tissue regeneration. All brittle stars regenerate lose limbs, but the...

Idris M, Thorndyke M, Brown E
Invert Neurosci . 2013 Jun; 13(2):151-65. PMID: 23797324
Although mutations in the huntingtin gene (HTT) due to poly-Q expansion cause neuropathology in humans (Huntington’s disease; HD), the normal function(s) of the gene and its protein (HTT) remain obscure....

Nakano H, Lundin K, Bourlat S, Telford M, Funch P, Nyengaard J, et al.
Nat Commun . 2013 Feb; 4:1537. PMID: 23443565
Xenoturbella bocki, a marine animal with a simple body plan, has recently been suggested to be sister group to the Acoelomorpha, together forming the new phylum Xenacoelomorpha. The phylogenetic position...

Stumpp M, Hu M, Melzner F, Gutowska M, Dorey N, Himmerkus N, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2012 Oct; 109(44):18192-7. PMID: 23077257
Calcifying echinoid larvae respond to changes in seawater carbonate chemistry with reduced growth and developmental delay. To date, no information exists on how ocean acidification acts on pH homeostasis in...

Skold H, Stach T, Bishop J, Herbst E, Thorndyke M
Biol Bull . 2011 Aug; 221(1):126-36. PMID: 21876115
Many invertebrates reproduce asexually by budding, but morphogenesis and the role of cell proliferation in this diverse and nonconserved regeneration-like process are generally poorly understood and particularly little investigated in...

Bourlat S, Nakano H, Akerman M, Telford M, Thorndyke M, Obst M
Mol Ecol Resour . 2011 May; 8(1):18-22. PMID: 21585714
The benthic marine worm Xenoturbella is frequently contaminated with molluscan DNA, which had earlier caused confusion resulting in a suggested bivalve relationship. In order to find the source of the...

Dupont S, Thorndyke W, Thorndyke M, Burke R
Dev Genes Evol . 2009 Feb; 219(3):159-66. PMID: 19238430
Comparative features of the development of the larval nervous system of ophiuroids have the potential for resolving aspects of echinoderm evolution. In Amphiura filiformis serotonergic neural progenitors appear in the...
