报告题目/Title:

Understanding the Sources of Regenerative Capacity In Animals

讲座摘要/Abstract:

Under normal physiological conditions, the functions of many organs depend on the continuous destruction and renewal of their cells. As important as repair and restoration are to the survival of multicellular organisms, we know little about how these processes are affected and regulated at the cellular and molecular levels. Here, I will discuss how animals like the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea, and the killifish “Nothobranchius Furzeri” are beginning to shed light on the way adult animals regulate tissue homeostasis and the replacement of body parts lost to injury.
