This project explores the regenerative abilities of planarian flatworms, comparing species that can regenerate with those that cannot. It aims to understand the molecular and evolutionary mechanisms behind these differences, focusing on the Wnt signaling pathway.
The ability to regenerate lost body parts is widespread amongst animals, yet humans, for example, can only regenerate specific organs.
Why some animals regenerate while others hardly do remains a fascinating conundrum, especially so in face of “survival of the fittest”.
Even amongst planarian flatworms, famous for their ability to regenerate from random tissue fragments, species exist that have completely lost the ability to regenerate.
This proposal will exploit the unique diversity of planaria…
