WVU biologist to study genes laying framework for whole body regeneration
A West Virginia University biologist is studying why some animals can regenerate while others cannot and has identified the genes that play a role in the process.
Christopher Arnold, assistant professor of biology at the WVU Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, will explore how genes establishing animal body plans — the structure of organs and tissues — also set the stage for regenerative abilities.
His research could provide insight into human development and disease, leading to enhanced understanding of factors underlying tissue regeneration and inspiring novel approaches to improving human health.
