Planarians are a striking model for studying regeneration owing to their extraordinary capacity to reform entire body structures from small tissue fragments. This ability is mediated primarily by ...

An artificial intelligence system has for the first time reverse-engineered the regeneration mechanism of planaria -- the small worms whose power to regrow body parts makes them a research model in ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Researchers report in the journal Developmental Cell that they have identified genes that control growth and regeneration of the intestine in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea ...

If you dissect a planarian (Schmidtea mediterranea)—a flatworm about half an inch long—into 279 tiny fragments, each fragment can regrow into an entire animal. New research from the lab of Alejandro ...

University of Utah researchers--feeding microscopic pills of RNA to quarter-inch long worms called planarians--have identified many genes essential to understanding a biological mystery that has ...

Researchers discovered that muscle plays a surprising role in planarian regeneration. Some animals have the incredible ability to regenerate lost body parts—imagine a starfish regrowing its limbs or a ...
