The pioneering work on human stem cells inspired research into other organisms, including invertebrates like tunicates, planarians, and hydrozoans. Evidence suggests that stem-like cells exist in ...
Similarly to planarian worms, hydras are also able to regenerate parts of their body. The key to understanding their potential immortality is in their stem cells, which can self-renew indefinitely.
Blair Benham-Pyle, Ph.D. studies molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating stem cell immortality and tissue regeneration. The lab combines high-throughput RNAi screens, genomics, and RNA FISH with ...
