This Open Access volume provides a comprehensive overview of the latest tools available to
scientists to study the many facets of whole-body regeneration (WBR). The chapters in this book
are organized into six parts. Part One provides a historical overview on the study of the WBR
phenomena focusing on the primary challenges of this research. Parts Two and Three explore a
series of non-vertebrate zoological contexts that provide experimental models for WBR showing
how they can be approached with cellular tools. Parts Four Five and Six discuss the future
advancements of WBR reporting about the cutting-edge techniques in genetics and omics used to
dissect the underlying mechanisms of WBR and systems biology approaches to reach a synthetic
view of WBR. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format
chapters include introductions to their respective topics lists of the necessary materials and
reagents step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting
and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and thorough Whole-Body Regeneration: Methods and
Protocols is a valuable resource for scientists and researchers who want to learn more about
this important and developing field.
