Cellular proliferation dynamics during regeneration in Syllis malaquini (Syllidae, Annelida).

ABSTRACT:

Background

In syllids (Annelida, Syllidae), the regenerative blastema was subject of many studies in the mid and late XX^th century. This work on syllid regeneration showed that the blastema is developed by a process of dedifferentiation of cells near the wound, followed by their proliferation and redifferentiation (cells differentiate to the original cell type) or, in some specific cases, transdifferentiation (cells differentiate to a cell type different from the original). Up to date, participation of stem cells or pre-existing proliferative cells in the blastema development has never been observed in syllids. This study provides the first comprehensive description of Syllis malaquini's regenerative capacity, including data on the cellular proliferation dynamics by usin
