How Do Starfish Regenerate Lost Parts?

Starfish are renowned for their remarkable regenerative abilities. When an arm or part of the central disc is lost, starfish can regenerate the missing parts through a process involving cell proliferation and differentiation. Regenerative cells, or amebocytes, migrate to the wound site and differentiate into various cell types needed to form new tissues. This process is controlled by signals from the nervous system and involves the reorganization of existing tissues and the formation of new structures.
