▪ Abstract The principles underlying regeneration in planarians have been explored for over 100 years through surgical manipulations and cellular observations. ... Planarian regeneration involves the generation of new tissue at the wound site via cell proliferation (blastema formation), and the remodeling of pre...

Owing to their extraordinary ability for regeneration and asexual reproduction, planaria have long been the model organisms for studying cellular and molecular mechanisms leading to morphological plasticity and pattern reestablishment.

The water-dwelling planaria can lose its head and regrow a new one. Watch and listen as planaria researcher Alejandro Sanchez Alvarado explains how a little flatworm’s abilities might teach us about our own regenerative potential. ... Regeneration is fueled by stem cells, cells with the ability to become other types of...
