New from Silvia Caballero, Stefania Castagnetti and friends - Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Drawing together findings from several projects over many years, we make a case that neural cell types in the Clytia larva have two embryological origins: i-cells and ectodermal. bioRxiv 2025.11.17.688882; doi: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Proud to have been part of this very nice piece of work and this great collaboration. Congratulations to all. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

These are embryos of a jellyfish, made up of cells that are about a fiftieth of a millimetre in size. Their outlines are visible thanks to fluorescent markers identified by Sarah Asaf and @clytia-vlfr.bsky.social see doi.org/10.1101/2024... 🧵

What are these? You are looking at embryos of a sea squirt. Each of the 'soap bubbles' is a living cell, about a fourtieth of a millimetre in size. The outlines of the cells are visible thanks to fluorescent markers identified by Hitoyoshi Yasuo @hitoyas.bsky.social see doi.org/10.1101/2024... 🧵
