How do some animals like crabs, flatworms and salamanders regenerate entire body parts
after a severe injury? Which are the mechanisms and how did that regenerative ability …

Regeneration has fascinated both scientists and non-scientists for centuries. Many
organisms can regenerate, and arthropod limbs are no exception although their ability to …

The mystery of appendage regeneration has fascinated humans for centuries, while the
underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we establish a …

Hemimetabolous insects, such as the two-spotted cricket Gryllus bimaculatus, can recover
lost tissues, in contrast to the limited regenerative abilities of human tissues. Following …

Appendage regeneration relies on the formation of blastema, a heterogeneous cellular
structure formed at the injury site. However, little is known about the early injury-activated …

Juvenile hormones and the genetic interaction between the transcription factors Krüppel
homologue 1 (Kr-h1) and Broad (Br) regulate the transformation of insects from immature to …

Hemimetabolous insects such as the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus regenerate lost tissue parts
using blastemal cells, a population of dedifferentiated proliferating cells. The expression of …

This review summarizes recent advances in leg regeneration research, focusing on the
cricket Gryllus bimaculatus. Recent studies have revealed molecular mechanisms on …

Many ectotherms have the ability to voluntarily detach a body part, known as autotomy,
usually in response to predator attacks. Autotomy can have an immediate benefit for …
