Comparative Analysis of Cell Proliferation Patterns in Ciliated Planktotrophic Larvae of Marine Invertebrates

Most benthic marine invertebrates have long-lived planktonic ciliated larvae that must feed and grow to reach metamorphosis. Because ciliated cells in animals are unable to divide it is of considerable interest how ciliated larvae are able to grow. To understand how ciliated larvae grow I compared c...
