Many organisms are able to regenerate damaged tissues–from heart muscle after cardiac injury in mammals to entire limbs in organisms like the axolotl. This volume explores the biological basis of regeneration, examining the developmental pathways involved, the underlying molecular mechanisms and how this knowledge may ultimately be applied therapeutically. Topics covered in this essential volume include:
- Imaginal Disc Regeneration - Pancreatic Beta Cell Development and Regeneration - Lessons from the Zebrafish Fin - Cell Reprogramming - Insect Gut Regeneration - Emerging Models of Regeneration
