Videos & graphics (you will need QuickTime for these, and some clips may take @2 minutes to load)

Sponge wound healing
Time-lapse video (900x real time).  This preparation was made by my honors student John Neff in April 2002.  The video shows the closure of a 1-mm-long wound in Aplysilla longispina.  The wound closed in about 7 hours, due to the crawling activities of cells at the margin.
