This project investigates the molecular mechanisms behind regeneration in planarians, a type of flatworm capable of regrowing body parts. By analyzing the signals that trigger regeneration, it aims to uncover fundamental principles that could apply to other organisms, including vertebrates.
Injury poses a key threat to all multicellular organisms.
However, while some animals can fully restore lost body parts, others can only prevent further damage by mere wound healing.
Which molecular mechanisms determine whether regeneration is induced or not is an unsettled fundamental question. I will use whole body regeneration, one of the most fascinating biological processes, as an experimental paradigm to identify the mechanisms of regeneration initiation.
As a model organism I will employ…
