Abstract

Trichoplax adhaerens is an enigmatic animal with an extraordinarily simple morphology and a cellular organization, which are the focus of current research. Protocols outlined here provide detailed descriptions of advanced techniques for light and electron microscopic studies of Trichoplax. Studies using these techniques have enhanced our understanding of cell type diversity and function in placozoans and have provided insight into the evolution, development, and physiology of this little understood group.

摘要

粘着苔虫是一种神秘的动物，具有极其简单的形态和细胞组织，这是当前研究的重点。这里概述的方案提供了关于使用光和电子显微镜研究粘着苔虫的先进技术的详细描述。使用这些技术的研究增强了我们对扁盘动物中细胞类型多样性和功能的理解，并为这个了解甚少的群体的进化、发育和生理学提供了深入的见解。
