Main description:

This new volume of Current Topics in Developmental Biology covers the area of mechanisms in regeneration. With an international board of authors, it provides a comprehensive set of reviews covering such topics as control of growth during regeneration, skeletal muscle degeneration and regeneration in mammals and flies, and suppression of regeneration in mammals.

Contents:

1. Mechanisms of Systemic Wound Response in Drosophila 2. Dying to Go Through Again: Apoptosis and Regeneration 3. Control of Growth During Regeneration 4. Genomic Output Plasticity and Regeneration 5. Re-Engineering Development to Instruct Tissue Regeneration 6. Post-Embryonic Organogenesis of the Digestive Tube: Why does it Occur in Worms and Sea Cucumbers but Fails in Humans? 7. Skeletal Muscle Degeneration and Regeneration in Mice and Flies 8. Aging and Regeneration in Vertebrates 9. Genetic and Epigenetic Controls of Plant Regeneration 10. The Hormonal Control of Regeneration in Plants 11. Mathematical Modeling of Regenerative Processes
