It’s finally outtttt!!!
Great to see this huge collab out, wouldn’t have been possible without any of the authors but especially my co-first @drsalamander.bsky.social and our mentors

The Hydractinia cell atlas reveals cellular and molecular principles of cnidarian coloniality - Nature Communications
Here they generate a cell type atlas of the colonial cnidarian Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, which reveals that distinct colony parts are mostly made from unique combinations of shared cell types, an...

A positive feedback loop between germ cells and gonads induces and maintains sexual reproduction in a cnidarian
Cnidarian germ cells secrete TGF-β to induce gonad development, and gonads induce germ cells by activating Tfap2 in stem cells.

Gonads and germ cells have an interdependent relationship in the cnidarian #Hydractinia. Germ cells secrete a TGF-beta ligand (called Gonadless) to induce and maintain the somatic gonad; gonads activate Tfap2 in pluripotent stem cells (i-cells) to commit them to germ fate

#Hydractinia takes regeneration to the extreme¬in a new preprint, Curantz et al. show that dissociated, reaggregated cells can form a new individual. We also show how they do it and which cells types actually contribute to the new individual (tip: not many of them).
