Distinct mechanisms underlie oral vs aboral regeneration in the cnidarian Hydractinia echinata

Cnidarians possess remarkable powers of regeneration, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this capability are unclear. Studying the hydrozoan Hydractinia echinata we show that a burst of stem cell proliferation occurs following decapitation, forming a blastema at the oral pole withi...
