The Problem of Regeneration
Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado, Jan. 2007
HHMI, Dept. of Neurobiology & Anatomy, University of Utah School of Medicine

Lecture Overview
In the third and last part of this lecture, I will introduce the model system we have developed to study animal regeneration, the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea. I will review its anatomy, and the biological attributes that make these animals extraordinarily well suited to dissect the molecular and cellular basis of regeneration. I will also discuss recent work from my laboratory aimed at identifying molecules associated with regenerative capacities.
Part 3: Molecular Basis of Regeneration:
Planarians as a Model System (43:54)
