The Hydra regeneration assay reveals ecological risks in running waters : a new proposal to detect environmental teratogenic threats

The regenerative ability of Hydra vulgaris was tested as potential biomarker for the development of a new eco-toxicological index. The test is based on the regeneration rate and the aberration frequency of the columna (body and adhesive foot) after separation from head and tentacles by a bistoury. P...
