Cnidofest 2022 was a conference showcasing advances in cnidarian developmental and stem cell biology, including single-cell sequencing applications, cell signaling pathways, and stem cell potency studies across multiple cnidarian model organisms. Talks highlighted new tools such as CRISPR/Cas9 lineage tracing and single-cell genomics that are deepening understanding of regeneration, development, and evolution in cnidarians.
Cnidofest 2022 was a conference report summarizing presentations on cnidarian developmental biology, stem cell biology, and cell signaling. A key finding was that single transgenically labelled i-cells in Hydractinia give rise to all adult cell types, confirming true pluripotency. In Nematostella, endogenous CRISPR labelling revealed a multipotent stem-like cell population near gonads that produces both germ and neural-like cells.
