Temporally-patterned magnetic fields induce complete fragmentation in planaria. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A tandem sequence composed of weak temporally-patterned magnetic fields was discovered that produced 100% dissolution of planarian in their home environment. After five consecutive days of 6.5 hr exposure to a frequency-modulated magnetic field (0.1 to 2

Hedgehog signaling regulates gene expression in planarian glia
eLife, 2016 Hedgehog signaling is critical for vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) development, but its role in CNS biology in other organisms is poorly characterized. In the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea, hedgehog (hh) is expressed in medial cephalic ganglia

Decoding Stem Cells: An Overview on Planarian Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Lineage Progression
Biomolecules, 2021 Planarians are flatworms capable of whole-body regeneration, able to regrow any missing body part after injury or amputation. The extraordinary regenerative capacity of planarians is based upon the presence in the adult of a large population of somatic ...

Planarian body-wall muscle: regeneration and function beyond a simple skeletal support
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016 The body-wall musculature of adult planarians consists of intricately organized muscle fibers, which after amputation are regenerated rapidly and with great precision through the proliferation and differentiation of pluripotent stem cells.

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023 Background: The establishment of the anterior-posterior (A-P) axis is a crucial step during tissue repair and regeneration. Despite the association reported recently of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) with regeneration, the mechanism underlying the regulation ...

Regenerate to "Rejuvenate": Insights From Adult Resident Stem Cells of Aged Flatworms and Mice. [PDF]
Aging CellResident stem cells from aged planaria and murine skeletal muscle possess some inherent abilities to mitigate signs of aging after tissue regeneration. ABSTRACT Adult resident stem cells are capable of regenerating tissues that manifest signs of “rejuvenation” in flatworms and mice of older ages.

Collagen IV differentially regulates planarian stem cell potency and lineage progression
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Comprehensive assessment of matrisome genes identified collagen IV as one of the many extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins regulating the stem cell pool in planarian tissue homeostasis and regeneration.

The Bacterial Metabolite Indole Inhibits Regeneration of the Planarian Flatworm Dugesia japonica
iScience, 2018 Summary: Planarian flatworms have been used for over a century as models for regeneration. Planarians live in aquatic environments with constant exposure to microbes, but the mechanisms by which bacteria may mediate planarian regeneration are largely ...
