Description: Regeneration involves the replacement of missing organs, appendages, or large body regions and has always been fascinating at the gross and morphological level. The course will detail the recent tremendous advances that have been made at the cellular and molecular level using highly regenerative model organisms. These studies will identify principles that explain how regeneration can occur so as to provide an understanding into this biological phenomenon. Additionally, these insights have also revealed common molecular pathways that are used in non-regenerating systems.
