Regeneration is one of the great mysteries of biology. Planarians are flatworms capable of
dramatic feats of regeneration, which have been studied for over 2 centuries. Recent …

Most current research in cell biology uses just a handful of model systems including yeast,
Arabidopsis, Drosophila, Caenorhabditis elegans, zebrafish, mouse, and cultured …

Proliferating cells known as neoblasts include pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) that sustain
tissue homeostasis and regeneration of lost body parts in planarians. However, the lack of …

Salamanders exhibit an extraordinary ability among vertebrates to regenerate complex body
parts. However, scarce genomic resources have limited our understanding of regeneration …

Neoblasts are an abundant, heterogeneous population of adult stem cells (ASCs) that
facilitate the maintenance of planarian tissues and organs, providing a powerful system to …

The free-living flatworm, Macrostomum lignano has an impressive regenerative capacity.
Following injury, it can regenerate almost an entirely new organism because of the presence …

Regenerative medicine harnesses the body's innate capacity for self-repair to restore
malfunctioning tissues and organs. Stem cell therapies represent a key regenerative …

Background Planarian has attracted increasing attentions in the regeneration field for its
usefulness as an important biological model organism attributing to its strong regeneration …

Proper function and repair of the digestive system are vital to most animals. Deciphering the
mechanisms involved in these processes requires an atlas of gene expression and cell …

Large-scale regeneration in the adult central nervous system is a unique capacity of
salamanders among tetrapods. Salamanders can replace neuronal populations, repair …
