The award supports research to understand how certain mammals regenerate complex tissues by studying cell proliferation control mechanisms, with the goal of advancing regenerative medicine for humans.
Description
This project aims to determine the cell autonomous mechanisms that permit and control proliferation during complex tissue regeneration in highly regenerative mammals such as spiny mice and rabbits, to build a blueprint for recapitulating regeneration in human medicine.
