Abstract: Planarians are among the metazoan organisms with the greatest regenerative abilities. This ability is based on their pluripotent stem cells, called neoblasts, which constitute 10-20% of the cells in their body. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms… read more here.

Abstract: In order to regenerate tissues successfully, stem cells must detect injuries and restore missing cell types through largely unknown mechanisms. Planarian flatworms have an extensive stem cell population responsible for regenerating any organ after amputation.… read more here.
