Zebrafish have the remarkable ability to fully regenerate a lost appendage, faithfully
restoring its size, shape and tissue patterning. Studies over the past decades have identified …

Mechanical injury is a prevalent challenge in the lives of animals with myriad potential
consequences for organisms, including reduced fitness and death. Research on animal …

Injury induces systemic responses, but their functions remain elusive. Mechanisms that can
rapidly synchronize wound responses through long distances are also mostly unknown …

Plant roots possess remarkable regenerative potential owing to their ability to replenish
damaged or lost stem cells. ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR 115 (ERF115), one of the key …

Tissue regeneration is not simply a local repair event occurring in isolation from the distant,
uninjured parts of the body. Rather, evidence indicates that regeneration is a whole-animal …

Cellular communication is important in all aspects of tissue and organism functioning, from
the level of single cells, two discreet populations, and distant tissues of the body. Long …

A pervasive view is that undifferentiated stem cells are alone responsible for generating all
other cells and are the origins of cancer. However, emerging evidence demonstrates fully …

The capacity to regenerate lost or injured body parts is a widespread feature within
metazoans and has intrigued scientists for centuries. One of the most extreme types of …

Throughout the animal kingdom regenerative ability varies greatly from species to species,
and even tissue to tissue within the same organism. The sheer diversity of structures and …

Regeneration serves as a self-protective mechanism that allows a tissue or organ to recover
its entire form and function after suffering damage. However, the regenerative capacity …
