Invited Speaker

The freshwater cnidarian Hydra is well known for its almost unlimited regenerative capacity. Even when cut into several pieces, each fragment can regenerate into a complete animal within approximately one week. Owing to its exceptional simplicity, Hydra allows simultaneous tracking of regeneration associated gene expression and tissue deformation throughout the regeneration process, from...
