AbstractLive imaging of regenerative processes can reveal how animals restore their bodies after injury through a cascade of dynamic cellular events. Here, we present a comprehensive toolkit for live imaging of whole-body regeneration in the flatworm Macrostomum lignano, including a high throughput cloning pipeline, targeted cellular ablation, and advanced microscopy solutions. Using tissue-specific reporter expression, we examine how various structures regenerate.

Recent days have seen media speculation that the government will keep the cap on average household gas and electricity bills at £2,500/year. But even at that level, energy bills would be more than double what they were 2 years ago. There’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Market analysts suggest that energy prices may remain far above their historic levels for the rest of this decade.
