Effects of Cannabidiol on Dugesia Dorotocephala Head Regeneration [PDF]
Athens Journal of Health and Medical Sciences, 2022 The endocannabinoid system regulates synaptic transmissions. It is comprised of two G protein-coupled receptors, cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2), a degradation system and the endocannabinoids, a group of lipidic ligands. The

Open Biology, 2023 Adult planarians can regenerate the gut, eyes and even a functional brain. Proper identity and patterning of the newly formed structures require signals that guide and commit their adult stem cells.

Aging as a Loss of Goal-Directedness: An Evolutionary Simulation and Analysis Unifying Regeneration with Anatomical Rejuvenation. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)The paper proposes that the root cause of aging is the loss of anatomical goal‐directedness after development. Using evolutionary neural cellular automata simulations, the authors show that after the organism has reached its developmental homeostatic setpoint (the adult morphology), the absence of target state to pursue leads to a drifting anatomical ...

Cysteine and Aspartyl Proteases Contribute to Protein Digestion in the Gut of Freshwater Planaria. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 Proteases perform numerous vital functions in flatworms, many of which are likely to be conserved throughout the phylum Platyhelminthes. Within this phylum are several parasitic worms that are often poorly characterized due to their complex life-cycles ...

Rapid Peripheral Disintegration of Planaria in the Presence of Barium
bioRxiv, 2023 Bioelectric signalling has been implicated in planaria regeneration and anatomical homeostasis. Previous reports demonstrated that barium chloride (1 mM), a potassium channel blocker, produced slow disintegration of the head (in 72 hours) in a clonal ...

Application of Computational Methods in Planaria Research: A Current Update
Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics, 2017 Planaria is a member of the Phylum Platyhelminthes including flatworms. Planarians possess the unique ability of regeneration from adult stem cells or neoblasts and finds importance as a model organism for regeneration and developmental studies. Although
