Understanding the molecular mechanism of regeneration through apoptosis-induced compensatory proliferation studies - updates and future aspects.

AICP is a crucial process that maintaining tissue homeostasis and regeneration. In the past, cell death was perceived merely as a means to discard cells without functional consequences. However, during regeneration, effector caspases orchestrate apoptosis, releasing signals that activate stem cells, thereby compensating for tissue loss across various animal models.

The molecular mechanisms underlying the regeneration process in the earthworm, Perionyx excavatus exhibit indications of apoptosis-induced compensatory proliferation (AICP).

Regeneration is a multifaceted biological phenomenon that necessitates the intricate orchestration of apoptosis, stem cells, and immune responses, culminating in the regulation of apoptosis-induced compensatory proliferation (AICP). The AICP context of research is observed in many animal models like in Hydra, Xenopus, newt, Drosophila, and mouse but so far not reported in earthworm. The earthworm Perionyx excavatus is used in the present study to understand the relationship between AICP-related protein expression and regeneration success in different conditions (normal regeneration and abnormal multiple bud formation).

Understanding the Multi-Functional Role of TCTP in the Regeneration Process of Earthworm, Perionyx excavatus.

Background: Regeneration is a highly complex process that requires the coordination of numerous molecular events, and identifying the key ruler that governs is important to investigate. While it has been shown that TCTP is a multi-functional protein that regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, anti-apoptosis, stem cell maintenance, and immune responses, but only a few studies associated to regeneration have been reported. To investigate the multi-functional role of TCTP in regeneration, the earthworm Perionyx excavatus was chosen.

Metallo-Surfactant assisted silver nanoparticles: A new approach for the colorimetric detection of amino acids.

In this study, we report a new class of metallo-surfactant assisted silver nanoparticle produced by reduction process via AgNO solution and extract of Turnera Subulata (TS) in aqueous which act as reducing and metallo-surfactant [Co(ip)(CHNH)](ClO) (ip = imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline) act as stabilizing agent. In this study the silver nanoparticles produced using Turnera Subulata extract has showed yellowish brown color formation and an absorption peak at 421 nm signaling the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles. The presence of functional groups in the plant extracts were identified by FTIR analysis.

Comparative analysis of the survival and regeneration potential of juvenile and matured earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae, upon in vivo and in vitro maintenance.

Eudrilus eugeniae is a clitellum-dependent earthworm that requires intact clitellum segments for its survival and regeneration. The present study aims to interconnect the survival and regeneration ability that varies between in vivo and in vitro maintenance upon different sites of amputation. The amputated portion of the worm that possesses intact clitellum (13th-18th segments) survived and had the potential to regenerate, whereas worms with partial or without clitellum segments only survived and were unable to regenerate.
