A Marine Invertebrate Stands up for Science
Friday, May 19, 2017

The small, transparent marine organism, abundant along California’s coast, spends its life colonizing submerged surfaces — boats, docks, and even other animals. But Botryllus is more than just a humble hanger-on; as an invertebrate closely related to humans, it has characteristics that are about to make it the focus of a multi-campus research project aimed at placing the University of California at the forefront of vascular mechanics and, by extension, cardiovascular disease, which is responsible for one in four deaths in the state.
