Les Planàries d'aigües dolces a Catalunya i les illes Balears. I. Clau sistemàtica i distribució geogràfica [PDF]
, 1980 The geographical distribution of freshwater planarians in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands has been studied from old and new records. Up to now, seven species have been found in Catalonia throughout the 44 localities studied, whereas only three species

Comparative analysis of Wnt expression identifies a highly conserved developmental transition in flatworms [PDF]
, 2016 Background Early developmental patterns of flatworms are extremely diverse and difficult to compare between distant groups. In parasitic flatworms, such as tapeworms, this is confounded by highly derived life cycles involving indirect development, and ...

Transcriptional signatures of somatic neoblasts and germline cells in Macrostomum lignano
eLife, 2016 The regeneration-capable flatworm Macrostomum lignano is a powerful model organism to study the biology of stem cells in vivo. As a flatworm amenable to transgenesis, it complements the historically used planarian flatworm models, such as Schmidtea ...

Eye Absence Does Not Regulate Planarian Stem Cells during Eye Regeneration [PDF]
, 2018 Dividing cells called neoblasts contain pluripotent stem cells and drive planarian flatworm regeneration from diverse injuries. A long-standing question is whether neoblasts directly sense and respond to the identity of missing tissues during ...

Glass confers rhabdomeric photoreceptor identity in Drosophila, but not across all metazoans
EvoDevo, 2019 Across metazoans, visual systems employ different types of photoreceptor neurons (PRs) to detect light. These include rhabdomeric PRs, which exist in distantly related phyla and possess an evolutionarily conserved phototransduction cascade.

Profiling G protein-coupled receptors of Fasciola hepatica identifies orphan rhodopsins unique to phylum Platyhelminthes [PDF]
, 2017 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are established drug targets. Despite their considerable appeal as targets for next-generation anthelmintics, poor understanding of their diversity and function in parasitic helminths has thwarted progress towards GPCR-

Cell Reports, 2012 Among the millions of invertebrate species with visual systems, the genetic basis of eye development and function is well understood only in Drosophila melanogaster. We describe an eye transcriptome for the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea.

The exceptional stem cell system of Macrostomum lignano : screening for gene expression and studying cell proliferation by hydroxyurea treatment and irradiation [PDF]
, 2007 BackgroundFlatworms are characterized by an outstanding stem cell system. These stem cells (neoblasts) can give rise to all cell types including germ cells and power the exceptional regenerative capacity of many flatworm species.
