Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The animal phylum Placozoa, with its most prominent model species, Trichoplax adhaerens, has attracted substantial attention for biological and medical research across disciplines. The extremely simple placozoan bauplan shows a remarkably low number of different somatic cell types and represents a unique system for developmental research. Major gene families involved in the complexity of cell differentiation and tissue architecture in higher animals have their gene regulatory counterparts in placozoans. Nine somatic cell types have so far been described in placozoans, and more than 80% of the cells are epithelial. As a major boon as an experimental animal, Trichoplax possesses a remarkably effective ability to regenerate body parts (or even a whole individual from a small portion of tissue). |
