Many aquatic invertebrates are associated with surfaces, using adhesives to attach to the
substratum for locomotion, prey capture, reproduction, building or defence. Their intriguing and …

Regeneration-capable flatworms are informative research models to study the mechanisms
of stem cell regulation, regeneration, and tissue patterning. However, the lack of …

… ) Expression of Mlig-ap1 and Mlig-ap2 mRNA visualized with colorimetric WISH (D–G)
and dFISH (H–J). Note the coexpression in the same cells of both mRNAs in the overlay. (K) …

Invertebrates such as Asellus aquaticus, halacarid mites, copepods and cladocerans are
known to regularly occur in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS). An eight-year study …

… 9J) we could show their linear lengthening from 600 nm at 20 hpf to almost 5 µm at 25 hpf
and thereafter (Suppl. Table 3). More bendable cilia, a more invariant position or possible …

Background Free-living flatworms, in both marine and freshwater environments, are able to
adhere to and release from a substrate several times within a second. This reversible …

Phenotypic plasticity can enable organisms to produce optimal phenotypes in multiple
environments. A crucial life history trait that is often highly plastic is sex allocation, which in …

Pituitary adenomas represent an inhomogenous tumor entity in terms of growth rate,
invasiveness and recurrence. To improve understanding of their different biological behaviour, …

Temporal and spatial characterization of gene expression is a prerequisite for the understanding
of cell-, tissue-, and organ-differentiation. In a multifaceted approach to investigate …

Tunicates populate a great variety of marine underwater substrates worldwide and represent
a significant concern in marine shipping and aquaculture. Adhesives are secreted from the …
