Euro chordates: Ascidian community swims ahead. The 4th International Tunicate meeting in Villefranche sur Mer.

A cohort of 150 biologists from 14 countries working with ascidians and appendicularians gathered on the French Riviera last June to enjoy good science and the perfect azure weather. At a time when molecular phylogeny studies tout ascidians and appendicularians as “our closest chordate ancestors,” Ciona, Botryllus, and Oikopleura are emerging as model systems with a growing number of research a...

Cloning of the hormone receptors revealed that they belong to a large family of nuclear receptors, including those for vitamin D3, thyroid hormones and retinoids. Because of their inducible nature, these receptors are now ...
