The majority of animal phyla have species that can regenerate. Comparing regeneration
across animals can reconstruct the molecular and cellular evolutionary history of this …

Animal regeneration, the ability to restore a lost body part, is a process that has fascinated
scientists for centuries. In this review, we first present what regeneration is and how it relates …

For successful regeneration, the identity of the missing tissue must be specified according to
the pre-existing tissue. Planarians are ideal for the study of the mechanisms underlying this …

Hydra's almost unlimited regenerative potential is based on Wnt signaling, but so far it is
unknown how the injury stimulus is transmitted to discrete patterning fates in head and foot …

Adult pluripotent stem cell (aPSC) populations underlie whole-body regeneration in many
distantly-related animal lineages, but how the underlying cellular and molecular …

Animals capable of whole-body regeneration can replace any missing cell type and
regenerate fully functional new organs, including new brains, de novo. The regeneration of a …

During whole-body regeneration, a bisection injury can trigger two different types of
regeneration. To understand the transcriptional regulation underlying this adaptive …

Regeneration of complex tissues is initiated by an injury-induced stress response,
eventually leading to activation of developmental signaling pathways such as Wnt signaling …

Ctenophores (aka comb jellies) are one of the earliest branching extant metazoan phyla.
Adult regenerative ability varies greatly within the group, with platyctenes undergoing both …

Abstract The second annual Cnidarian Model Systems Meeting, aka “Cnidofest”, took place
in Davis, California from 7 to 10th of September, 2022. The meeting brought together …
