Planarians (Platyhelminthes)—An Emerging Model Organism for Investigating Innate Immune Mechanisms
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 An organism responds to the invading pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, protozoans, and fungi by engaging innate and adaptive immune system, which functions by activating various signal transduction pathways. As invertebrate organisms (such as sponges,

Maintenance of Schmidtea mediterranea in the Laboratory
Bio-Protocol, 2018 In the last years, planarians have emerged as a unique model animal for studying regeneration and stem cells biology. Although their remarkable regenerative abilities are known for a long time, only recently the molecular tools to understand the biology ...

Unusually Large Number of Mutations in Asexually Reproducing Clonal Planarian Dugesia japonica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We established a laboratory clonal strain of freshwater planarian (Dugesia japonica) that was derived from a single individual and that continued to undergo autotomous asexual reproduction for more than 20 years, and we performed large-scale genome ...

Cell quiescence in planarian stem cells, interplay between p53 and nutritional stimuli
Open Biology, 2022 Cell quiescence appeared early in evolution as an adaptive response to adverse conditions (i.e. nutrient depletion). In metazoans, quiescence has been involved in additional processes like tissue homeostasis, which is made possible by the presence of ...

Autophagy-related Djatg8 is required for remodeling in planarian Dugesia japonica
Biology Open, 2019 Planarians are the earliest free-living platyhelminthe with triploblastic and bilateral-symmetry. As an integral component of tissue homeostasis and regeneration, remodeling occurs constantly in the general planarian life history.

Djck1α Is Required for Proper Regeneration and Maintenance of the Medial Tissues in Planarians
Cells, 2023 CK1α (Casein kinase 1α) is a member of the casein kinase 1(CK1) family that is involved in diverse cellular processes, but its functions remain unclear in stem cell development.
