Regenerating tissues following injury is a demanding task most multicellular organisms master to different levels. In order to better understand the mechanisms common to many species behind tissue regeneration, researchers from the Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden and the BIOTEC (TU Dresden), decided to examine changes in systemic metabolism during regeneration. Their findings, published in npj Regenerative Medicine, reveal similarities and differences in metabolic signaling, lipid mobilization and storage between two regenerating species.
