Abstract excerpt
The recent establishment of gene silencing through RNA interference upon feeding opens avenues to decipher the genetic control of regeneration in hydra. Following that approach, we identified three main stages for head regeneration. Immediately post-amputation, the serine protease inhibitor Kazal1 gene produced by the gland cells prevents from an excessive autophagy in regenerating tips. This cytoprotective...
