A few cells drawn from the blood vessels are enough to help a marine sea squirt regenerate a whole, new body. A team of researchers from Stanford University have recently published a paper about the marine sea squirt in the The May issue of the FASEB Journal.
Reporting on their observations, Dr Ayelet Voskoboynik and co-investigators writer, “Regeneration occurs over multiple generations of individuals that are initially abnormal, but gradually regain normal patterns, and eventually converge (within a few generations) into a completely normal animal”.
