Article Synopsis
- The study examines the link between arm loss and regeneration in seastars, focusing on the nervous system's recovery after autotomy in the species Coscinasterias muricata.
- The research highlights the role of the radial nerve cord organization and adjacent haemal and coelomic vessels, which support wound healing and regeneration through the movement of specialized migratory cells.
- Findings indicate that rapid arm regeneration, occurring within three weeks, is facilitated by the efficiency of progenitor-like cells and adaptations of the autotomy plane, underscoring its relevance for understanding nervous system regeneration in other deuterostomes.
