Extraordinary model systems for regeneration

Accorsi A., Guo L., Marshall WF., Mommersteeg MTM., Nakajima Y-I.

ABSTRACT Regeneration is the remarkable phenomenon through which an organism can regrow lost or damaged parts with fully functional replacements, including complex anatomical structures, such as limbs. In 2019, Development launched its ‘Model systems for regeneration’ collection, a series of articles introducing some of the most popular model organisms for studying regeneration in vivo. To expand this topic further, this Perspective conveys the voices of five expert biologists from the field of regenerative biology, each of whom showcases some less well-known, but equally extraordinary, species for studying regeneration.
