Description
Carlos A Martin-Blanco and five co-authors study how mayfly nymphs regrow their gills, and what that teaches about insect regeneration. The abdominal gills of Cloeon handle salt balance and gas exchange. After amputation they regrow faster than they first grew, a puzzle worth probing at the molecular level.
Cell counts showed growth sped up evenly across the whole gill, not in one hot zone. Gene activity scans found cell-cycle genes switched on early, plus protein management paths such as neddylation. The team then tested several of these genes in fruit fly wing regeneration and found the same players at work. Regeneration tricks, it seems, are shared widely across insects.
