The cnidarian freshwater polyp Hydra sp. exhibits an unparalleled regeneration capacity in
the animal kingdom. Using an integrative transcriptomic and stable isotope labeling by …

Regeneration of lost body parts is essential to regain the fitness of the organism for
successful living. In the animal kingdom, organisms from different clades exhibit varied …

The silencing of genes whose expression is restricted to specific cell types and/or specific
regeneration stages opens avenues to decipher the molecular control of the cellular …

Decapitated Hydra regenerate their heads via morphallaxis, ie, without significant
contributions made by cell proliferation or interstitial stem cells. Indeed, Hydra depleted of …

Hydra tissues are made from three distinct populations of stem cells that continuously cycle
and pause in G2 instead of G1. To characterize the role of cell proliferation after mid-gastric …

Over the past decades, genetic analyses performed in vertebrate and invertebrate
organisms deciphered numerous cellular and molecular mechanisms deployed during …

The basis for Hydra's enormous regeneration capacity is the “stem cellness” of its epithelium
which continuously undergoes self-renewing mitotic divisions and also has the option to …

The freshwater Hydra polyp provides a unique model system to decipher the mechanisms
underlying adult regeneration. Indeed, a single cut initiates two distinct regenerative …

The cnidarian model organism Hydra has long been studied for its remarkable ability to
regenerate its head, which is controlled by a head organizer located near the hypostome …

Hydra are remarkable because they are immortal. Much of immortality can be ascribed to the
asexual mode of reproduction by budding, which requires a tissue consisting of stem cells …
