Most research on mechanisms of aging is being conducted in a very limited number of
classical model species, ie, laboratory mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus …

Cnidarians have been known since ancient times for the painful stings they induce to
humans. The effects of the stings range from skin irritation to cardiotoxicity and can result in …

The epithelial and interstitial stem cells of the freshwater polyp Hydra are the best-
characterized stem cell systems in any cnidarian, providing valuable insight into cell type …

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 …

The freshwater polyp Hydra provides a potent model system for investigating the conditions
that promote wound healing, reactivation of a developmental process and, ultimately …

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

Adipose‐derived stem cells (ASC) are said to have a pivotal role in wound healing.
Specifically, ASC‐secreted extracellular vesicles (EV) carry diverse cargos such as …

Cnidarians are fascinating creatures at the base of metazoan evolution possessing an
almost unlimited regeneration capacity that has attracted the interest of researchers, from …

Hydra regenerates one head when cut, but how forces sha** the head are coordinated
remains unclear. Soft compression of Hydra's head-regenerating tissues induces the …

Mechanical input shapes cell fate decisions during development and regeneration in many
systems, yet the mechanisms of this cross-talk are often unclear. In regenerating Hydra …
