Abstract

In this paper, the totipotency of non-mammalian stem cell regulation is discussed, especially the totipotency of hemicordate. Hemicornities play an important role in ecosystems, and studying their totality will help to better understand the adaptation mechanisms, niches, and biodiversity of these organisms. This paper introduces a method to observe cell development in different parts of hemicordate by fluorescent labeling to evaluate its totipotency.
