The serpent's maw: mouth function and the dynamics of Hydra regeneration

Posted by , on 30 September 2019

One of the biggest open questions in biology is how organisms can form complex patterns (limbs, organs, entire body plans) from initially disordered or very simple states. Every animal does ...
