Transcript
Stentor coeruleus has long been employed as a model organism to understand unicellular regeneration. While the timeline for visual morphological regeneration is known, the timeline for functional regeneration remains unknown. This assay tracks the

We present a protocol for the characterization of motility and behavior of a population of hundred micron- to millimeter-sized cells using brightfield microscopy and cell tracking. This assay reveals that Stentor coeruleus transitions through four behaviorally distinct phases when regenerating a lost oral apparatus.
