Embryonic origin of adult stem cells required for tissue homeostasis and regeneration
eLife, 2017 Planarian neoblasts are pluripotent, adult somatic stem cells and lineage-primed progenitors that are required for the production and maintenance of all differentiated cell types, including the germline.

Invaginating Structures in Synapses – Perspective
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2021 Invaginating structures are common in the synapses of most animals. However, the details of these invaginating structures remain understudied in part because they are not well resolved in light microscopy and were often misidentified in early electron ...

Stem cells and fluid flow drive cyst formation in an invertebrate excretory organ
eLife, 2015 Cystic kidney diseases (CKDs) affect millions of people worldwide. The defining pathological features are fluid-filled cysts developing from nephric tubules due to defective flow sensing, cell proliferation and differentiation.

Weak magnetic fields modulate superoxide to control planarian regeneration
Frontiers in Physics, 2023 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling regulates cell behaviors and tissue growth in development, regeneration, and cancer. Commonly, ROS are modulated pharmacologically, which while effective comes with potential complications such as off-target ...

TRPA-1 in Planaria: Exploring Regeneration and Avoidance in the Presence of Irritants
Journal of student-scientists' research, 2022 Planaria are a genus of freshwater flatworms widely studied for their regenerative properties. Regeneration is possible because planarians have large populations of stem cells, called neoblasts, distributed throughout their bodies.

Effect of hypervitaminosis A in regenerating planaria: A potential model for teratogenicity testing
Journal of emerging investigators, 2022 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a child with birth defects is born approximately every 4.5 minutes. The currently accepted method to determine the potential of new medicines and chemicals to cause birth defects ...

The Toxic Effect of Lanthanum on Planaria Is Mediated by a Variety of Ion Channels
Toxics, 2018 The effect of toxic concentrations of La3+ on the Ca, K, Na, Mg, and Cl channels of planaria was investigated through the use of various agonists and antagonists to those channels.

Flow Cytometry Analysis of Planarian Stem Cells Using DNA and Mitochondrial Dyes
Bio-Protocol, 2022 Planarians are free-living flatworms that emerged as a crucial model system to understand regeneration and stem cell biology. The ability to purify neoblasts, the adult stem cell population of planaria, through fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS ...
