Figure 5. Restoration of regeneration in lethally irradiated hosts by single transplanted cNeoblasts.

Figure 5

(A) Representative images of transplant hosts. Tissue regression (asterisks) began anterior to photoreceptors (arrowheads) and progressed from anterior to posterior (px, pharynges). Rescued animals developed blastemas (arrow) at regression site (dotted line) after seven weeks and fully regenerated after eight weeks. Anterior, up. Dorsal surface shown. (B) Representative images of rescue strains undergoing regeneration following amputation. Blastemas formed at approximate amputation plane (dotted line). Intestine (labeled with red food coloring) and photoreceptors (arrowheads) were observed in blastemas after 12 days of regeneration. Anterior, up. Dorsal surface shown. Scale bars, 1mm (A), 500µm (B).
