Ets21C sustains a pro-regenerative transcriptional program in blastema cells of Drosophila imaginal discs

Regenerative growth in Drosophila imaginal discs is regulated by Wingless and Myc.

During Drosophila disc regeneration, JAK/STAT coordinates cell proliferation with Dilp8-mediated developmental delay

It is found that JAK/STAT signaling becomes activated at the wound site and promotes regenerative cell proliferation in cooperation with Wingless (Wg) signaling, and the expression of Drosophila insulin-like peptide 8 (dilp8), which encodes a paracrine peptide to delay the onset of pupariation, is controlled by JAK-STAT signaling in early regenerating discs.

The Drosophila Duox maturation factor is a key component of a positive feedback loop that sustains regeneration signaling

By whole-genome transcriptional profiling of regenerating tissue, a positive feedback loop that regulates the extent of regenerative growth is identified that ensures the prolonged JNK activation required for regenerateative growth.

Critical genetic program for Drosophila imaginal disc regeneration revealed by single-cell analysis

Using single-cell transcriptomics in regenerating Drosophila wing discs, two regeneration-specific cell populations within the blastema are identified, each composed of cells that upregulate multiple genes encoding secreted proteins that promote regeneration.

Regeneration and transdetermination in Drosophila imaginal discs.

A historical overview of the field is presented and how the application of modern methods has made the study of disc regeneration amenable to genetic analysis is described, which could provide new insights into tissue regeneration, transdetermination and compensatory proliferation.

Distinct Wnt signaling pathways have opposing roles in appendage regeneration

It is shown that Wnt/β-catenin signaling is activated in the regenerating zebrafish tail fin and is required for formation and subsequent proliferation of the progenitor cells of the blastema, and that fin regeneration is accelerated in wnt5b mutant fish.

Extensive regulatory capabilities of a Drosophila imaginal disk blastema

It is proposed that regulation is initiated at free cut edges, where a blastema is formed that adds new positional values in a sequence, and on completion of wound healing, blastema growth continues until remaining positional disparities are eliminated by intercalation, as presented in the polar coordinate model.

Regulation of cellular plasticity in Drosophila imaginal disc cells by the Polycomb group, trithorax group and lama genes

The results validate the methods for expression profiling as a way to analyze developmental programs, and show that modifications to chromatin structure are key to changes in cell fate.

Hedgehog is required for activation of engrailed during regeneration of fragmented Drosophila imaginal discs.

It is suggested that hedgehog-independent regeneration within the anterior compartment (termed integration) is mediated by the positional cues encoded by wingless and decapentaplegic, which provide a novel mechanistic interpretation of imaginal disc pattern regulation and permit speculation that similar mechanisms could govern appendage regeneration in other organisms.

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling regulates vertebrate limb regeneration.

It is demonstrated that changes in the spatiotemporal distribution of beta-catenin in the developing chick embryo elicit apical ectodermal ridge and limb regeneration in an organism previously thought not to regenerate.

The results show that metaplasia between differentiated cell types does not occur, and that the process of Xenopus tail regeneration is more akin to tissue renewal in mammals than to urodele tail regeneration.
