LIFESCI 4H03 - Regeneration: What Can We Learn From Animal Models?

3 unit(s)

Regeneration is the process by which lost body parts are replaced or restored. There is widespread variability in the ability of organisms to regenerate. In this course we will explore, through the examination of the current scientific literature, what is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this process and the current tools employed to explore this highly sought after ability.
