Vertebrates That Regenerate As Models For Guiding Stem Cels

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 695))

Abstract

There are several animal model organisms that have the ability to regenerate severe injuries by stimulating local cells to restore damaged and lost organs and appendages. In this chapter, we will describe how various vertebrate animals regenerate different structures (central nervous system, heart and appendages) as well as detail specific cellular and molecular features concerning the regeneration of these structures.
