Principles of Regenerative Biology
Ever since Morgan coined the term morphallaxis, its application as a descriptive
term has proved to be a challenge to regenerationists. In his original definition,
Morgan attributed two properties to the phenomenon. One was that the “part is ...

Stem Cells in Marine Organisms
Morphallaxis, on the other hand, involves remodeling of existing tissues without
extensive cell proliferation. Epimorphic blastema regeneration is the
characteristic mode of regeneration found in vertebrates. Limbs and tails of
anuran tadpoles ...

(b) Neural morphallaxis (changes in giant fiber sensory fields, area, and
conduction velocity) occurs during both asexual reproduction and regeneration,
however, the order of regenerative events is arranged differently over time during
these ...

Annelids in Modern Biology
regenerative transformation have been defined as neural morphallaxis (Drewes
and Fourtner 1990; Martinez et al. 2006). Evidence of morphallactic regeneration
has been described in at least three oligochaete species: L. variegatus (Drewes ...

Loss and Restoration of Regenerative Capacity in Tissues and ...
In his book, Morgan (1901), generalizing the available data on regeneration,
introduced the idea of two basic ways of regeneration to the theory of
regeneration: morphallaxis and epimorphosis. Since then these assumptions
have been ...

Stem Cells and Tissue Homeostasis
The difference between morphallaxis and epimorphosis in terms of a gradient in
positional information. In both hydra and the amphibian limb, positional values
are represented by a simple linear gradient. If the distal (head end) half of hydra
is ...

Competition Science Vision
It is of two types : morphallaxis and epimorphosis. Morphallaxis refers to the type
of regeneration in which lost body parts are replaced by the remodelling of the
remaining tissue. In this type of regeneration, little or no cellular proliferation
takes ...

quence of which a piece gradually assumes more or less exactly the proportions
of the whole organism from which it was taken. The most notable examples of
morphallaxis thus far described are Planan'n and Slmtor, but similar changes
have ...

Regenerative Biology and Medicine
This remodeling of synaptic organization is similar to morphallaxis, and can be
called “synaptallaxis”. Young granule cells of the rat hippocampus, recently born
from NSCs, have mechanisms to facilitate synaptic plasticity that more mature ...

Principles of Development
A distinction has been drawn between two types of regeneration. In one—
morphallaxis—there is little new cell division and growth, and regeneration of
structure occurs mainly by the repatterning of existing tissue and the re-
establishment of ...
