How regenerating sea anemones restore their shape?

Some animals can regenerate large parts of their body, even after major injuries.

A new study from the Ikmi Group at EMBL Heidelberg reveals that homeostasis extends beyond internal regulation, actively reshaping an organism’s body. The starlet sea anemone (Nematostella vectensis) exemplifies this, showcasing remarkable regenerative abilities. The research enhances our understanding of the molecular pathways involved in regeneration and highlights the fundamental role of maintaining body shape in animals.
