The freshwater cnidarian Hydra can regenerate from wounds, small tissue fragments and
even from aggregated cells. This process requires the de novo development of a body axis …

Neuropeptides are ancient signaling molecules in animals but only few peptide receptors
are known outside bilaterians. Cnidarians possess a large number of G protein-coupled …

Many animals share a lifelong capacity to adapt their growth rates and body sizes to
changing environmental food supplies. However, the cellular and molecular basis …

Cnidarians have become valuable models for understanding many aspects of
developmental biology including the evolution of body plan diversity, novel cell type …

The complexity of regeneration extends beyond local wound responses, eliciting systemic
processes across the entire organism. However, the functional relevance and coordination …

Animal evolution is influenced by the emergence of new cell types, yet our understanding of
this process remains elusive. This prompts the need for a broader exploration across diverse …

Live imaging of regenerative processes can reveal how animals restore their bodies after
injury through a cascade of dynamic cellular events. Here, we present a comprehensive …

CRISPR technology has revolutionized the biological research world, making animals
heretofore recalcitrant to genetic manipulation, accessible to analysis of specific gene …

Rapid three-dimensional imaging over extended fields of view (FOVs) is crucial to the study
of organism-wide systems and biological processes in vivo. Selective-plane illumination …

Optimized laboratory conditions for research models are crucial for the success of scientific
projects. This includes controlling the entire life cycle, having access to all developmental …
