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 …
Regeneration requires the coordination of stem cells, their progeny and distant differentiated tissues. Here, we present a comprehensive atlas of whole-body regeneration in Schmidtea …
The evolution of regenerative capacity in multicellular animals represents one of the most complex and intriguing problems in biology. How could such a seemingly advantageous trait …
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 …

Lophotrochozoa (also called Spiralia), the sister taxon of Ecdysozoa, includes animal taxa with disparate body plans such as the segmented annelids, the shell bearing molluscs and …
Tissue regeneration has been in the spotlight of research for its fascinating nature and potential applications in human diseases. The trait of regenerative capacity occurs diversely …
Adult stem cells (ASCs) in vertebrates and model invertebrates (eg Drosophila melanogaster) are typically long‐lived, lineage‐restricted, clonogenic and quiescent cells …
Molecular studies of animal regeneration typically focus on conserved genes and signaling pathways that underlie morphogenesis. To date, a holistic analysis of gene expression …
This article addresses the question of the role of morphallactic and epimorphic events in regeneration and asexual reproduction in annelids. It was shown that tissue reorganization …
