Do real stem cells and stem cell lineages exist in lower organisms?
Can stem cells from one organism parasitize the soma and/or the
germ line of conspecifics? Can differentiated cells in marine
organisms be re-programmed to regenerate tissues, organs and
appendages through novel de-differentiation, transdifferentiation,
or re-differentiation processes, leading to virtually all three
germ layers, including the germline? The positive answers to above
questions open a new avenue in stem cell research: the biology of
stem cells in marine organisms. It is therefore unfortunate that
while the literature on stem cell from terrestrial organisms is
rich and expanding at an exponential rate, investigations on marine
organisms' stem cells are very limited and scarce. By presenting
theoretical chapters, overview essays and specific research
results, this book summarises the knowledge and the hypotheses on
stem cells in marine organisms through major phyla and specific
model organisms. The study on stem cells from marine invertebrates
may shed lights on mechanisms promoting immunity, developmental
biology, regeneration and budding processes in marine
invertebrates, body maintenance, aging and senescence. It aims in
encouraging a larger scientific community to follow and study the
novel phenomena of stem cells behaviours as depicted from the few
currently studied marine invertebrates.
