Scientists at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences are researching the use of the brittlestar, a close relative of the starfish, as a model for stem cell biology.
The brittlestar can regenerate lost limbs quickly and this has attracted the scientists. It can serve as a model for learning how stem cells contribute to regenerative pathways, especially [...]
