Analysis of sea star larval regeneration reveals conserved processes of whole-body regeneration across the metazoa

Abstract Background Metazoan lineages exhibit a wide range of regenerative capabilities that vary among developmental stage and tissue type. The most robust regenerative abilities are apparent in the phyla Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, and Echinodermata, whose members are capable of whole-body regenera...
