Regeneration

…responses to climate; investigate regeneration of bodies, brains and behaviour; and combine extinct and living organisms to reconstruct biological change. Further sessions examine dormancy, compliant structures, host–microbiome feedback, mutualisms, shark development, polyploidy, crustacean life cycles and animal aesthetics. Neuromechanics sessions compare how muscle–tendon

Examine the principles connecting growth, form and regeneration across organisms. The programme integrates genetics, experiments, theory and computation to investigate gene-regulatory networks, tissue morphogenesis, cell-fate decisions and developmental pathways in disease. Stem-cell models, imaging, omics and biophysical models support discussion of how developmental mechanisms can inform tissue repair and biomedical applications. Talks, posters and discussion connect shared mechanisms across experimental systems. 17–22 January: check-in begins Sunday at 14:00, with scientific introductions

…their roles in vertebrate development, regeneration and disease, including congenital abnormalities, cancer and sensory dysfunction. Researchers will compare model organisms and experimental approaches, connecting genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic findings with cell behaviour and tissue formation. Discussion will focus on mechanisms of normal development and the origins of disorders when those processes fail. Attendance applica

…molecular or morphological aspects of regeneration, while the examination of functional outcomes in vivo is often overlooked. It is however crucial to assess if morphological regeneration also leads to restoration of function to its pre-injury state.This project addresses axolotl visual behavior through the establishment of a novel assay. Weused a computer-controlled projection syst

…is a key underlying reason of poor regeneration, and one focus is therefore on the biology of microglia during de- and re

A key question for basic biology and regenerative medicine concerns the way in which evolution exploits physics toward adaptive form and function. While genomes specify the molecular hardware of cells, what algorithms enable cellular collectives to reliably build specific, complex, target morphologies? Our lab studies the way in which all cells, not just neurons, communicate as electrical networks that enable scaling of single-cell properties into collective intelligences that solve problems in anatomical feature space. By learning to read, interpret, and write bioelectrical information in v
