The ion channel Anoctamin 10/TMEM16K coordinates organ morphogenesis across scales in the urochordate notochord

The notochord is an essential tubular organ that defines the chordate phylum. This study reveals that an ion channel called Anoctamin 10 orchestrates the robust morphogenesis of the notochord in the urochordate Ciona intestinalis.
