An artificial intelligence system has for the first time reverse-engineered the regeneration mechanism of planaria—the small worms whose extraordinary power to regrow body parts has made them a ...

Through the humble Planaria worm, Temple University researchers hope to discover what happens when drug abusers who take more than one drug-a common practice-go into withdrawal. Their work, which is ...

With its abundance of stem cells known as neoblasts, and remarkable abilities to restore body parts lost to injury, the humble flatworm, or planaria, has become an exciting model organism to study the ...

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 mediterranea. "How ...

In new research, scientists explore the intricate processes at work when stem cells differentiate into planarian skin cells. With its abundance of stem cells known as neoblasts, and remarkable ...
