Deciphering regeneration through non-model animals: A century of experiments on cephalopod mollusks and an outlook at the future

Fabio De Sio et al.

Summary: The establishment of marine stations in the late 19th century has enabled biologists to study many marine organisms, and cephalopod mollusks have drawn attention due to their adaptability to captivity and unique features including sophisticated behavior and complex nervous system. However, the study of tissue regeneration in cephalopods has been limited despite its centuries-old knowledge. This article reviews previous studies, discusses the peripherality of cephalopods in regeneration research, and explores the growing relevance of cephalopods as models for regeneration in contemporary biology and medicine.

Proprioceptive feedback amplification restores effective locomotion in a neuromechanical model of lampreys with spinal injuries

Christina Hamlet et al.

Summary: Spinal injuries can cause loss of locomotor ability in vertebrates. A study on lampreys suggests that amplifying sensory feedback can help restore swimming function even if the descending signal is lost, although the exact mechanism is still unknown.

An improved germline genome assembly for the sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus illuminates the evolution of germline-specific chromosomes

Nataliya Timoshevskaya et al.

Summary: Programmed DNA loss is a gene silencing mechanism found in various vertebrate and nonvertebrate lineages. The evolution of somatically eliminated sequences in these species has been difficult to reconstruct due to repetitive and duplicated sequences. However, an improved assembly of the sea lamprey genome has enabled analysis that sheds light on the recruitment of genes to the germline-specific fraction and reveals the roles of segmental duplication and positive selection in the long-term evolution of germline-specific chromosomes.

A Century of Brain Regeneration Phenomena and Neuromorphological Research Advances, 1890s-1990s-Examining the Practical Implications of Theory Dynamics in Modern Biomedicine

Frank W. Stahnisch

Summary: The plasticity of the brain's structure is crucial in clinical neurology and its allied disciplines. Evidence shows that neural circuits continue to develop and refine beyond early childhood, adapting to the surrounding environment. This review explores the historical research and biological phenomena related to the thesis of brain regeneration, as well as the implications for regenerative medicine and the challenges it poses for experimental and theoretical research. It also discusses the development of concepts, research schools, and the impact of new data and methodologies in 20th-century neuroscience.

The Lamprey Forebrain - Evolutionary Implications

Shreyas M. Suryanarayana et al.

Summary: Through a detailed comparison between the mammalian forebrain and that of the lamprey, it is suggested that many aspects of the basic design of the vertebrate forebrain had evolved before the lamprey diverged from the evolutionary line leading to mammals. The study proposes a compelling account of a pan-vertebrate schema for basic forebrain structures, indicating a common ancestry of over half a billion years of vertebrate evolution.

Forebrain Architecture and Development in Cyclostomes, with Reference to the Early Morphology and Evolution of the Vertebrate Head

Fumiaki Sugahara et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the highly complex morphological patterns of the vertebrate head and brain, particularly the evolution and development of the forebrain. By comparing brain development between extant jawed and jawless vertebrates, the aim is to reveal the morphology, developmental mechanism, and evolutionary path of the brain of the last common ancestor of vertebrates. The recent availability of hagfish embryos has led to comparative studies of brain development and gene expression in cyclostomes, shedding light on the evolutionary changes undergone by each cyclostome lineage during brain evolution.

Activating Transcription Factor 3 (ATF3) is a Highly Conserved Pro-regenerative Transcription Factor in the Vertebrate Nervous System

Hilary R. Katz et al.

Summary: The regenerative capacity of vertebrate nervous system varies greatly among species and neuronal populations. Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) has been identified as a conserved pro-regenerative factor that promotes neuronal axon regrowth and regeneration in various species. It is induced in neurons shortly after injury and its expression is found to be critical for axon regeneration.

The functional properties of synapses made by regenerated axons across spinal cord lesion sites in lamprey

David Parker

Summary: This study compares the properties of synapses made by regenerated axons with unlesioned axons in a lamprey model. Regenerated synapses below the lesion site show similar properties to unlesioned synapses, but differ in the number of synaptic vesicles and postsynaptic quantal amplitude. Axons above the lesion site have similar synaptic inputs to unlesioned animals, but with reduced release probability and facilitated inputs over spike trains.

The neurons that restore walking after paralysis

Claudia Kathe et al.

Summary: This article investigated the efficacy of spatiotemporal epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the lumbar spinal cord during neurorehabilitation for restoring walking in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury. Using a mouse model, a specific population of excitatory interneurons nested within intermediate laminae were identified as crucial for the recovery of walking after spinal cord injury with EES.

Evolution of the vertebrate motor system - from forebrain to spinal cord

Sten Grillner

Summary: The comparison between the vertebrate motor systems of lamprey and mammals shows striking similarities in basic organization, synaptic properties, transmitters, and neuronal properties. While the lamprey and rodents share similar organization of certain brain structures, mammals have evolved additional capabilities for the control of forelimbs, hands, and fingers. It is suggested that the blueprint of the vertebrate motor system had already evolved around 500 million years ago when the evolutionary lineages of mammals and lamprey became separate.

Chondroitinase ABC Promotes Axon Regeneration and Reduces Retrograde Apoptosis Signaling in Lamprey

Jianli Hu et al.

Summary: Paralysis following spinal cord injury is caused by failed axonal regeneration, which may be inhibited by inhibitory molecules like CSPGs. ChABC treatment can enhance axon growth and reduce retrograde neuronal apoptosis signaling, possibly through regulating PTP sigma expression and Akt activation.
