Stentor polymorphus

In a new study, published in Current Biology a research team from Uppsala University in Sweden reports new insights into the regenerative capabilities of Stentor, a single celled model organism for regeneration biology. Stentor could conveniently be isolated from a pond nearby the laboratory.

Study reveals how ‘microbial axolotl’ repairs itself

In a new study, published in Current Biology this week, a research team from Uppsala University reports new insights into the regenerative capabilities of Stentor, a single celled model organism for regeneration biology. The study used novel gene expression methods that allowed the researchers to identify over one thousand genes involved in the regeneration process of individual stentor cells.
