Adhesive organ regeneration in Macrostomum lignano [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BackgroundFlatworms possess pluripotent stem cells that can give rise to all cell types, which allows them to restore lost body parts after injury or amputation. This makes flatworms excellent model systems for studying regeneration.

A transcription factor atlas of stem cell fate in planarians

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Whole-body regeneration requires the ability to produce the full repertoire of adult cell types. The planarian Schmidtea mediterranea contains over 125 cell types, which can be regenerated from a stem cell population called neoblasts.

How morphogen gradients form – of FGF signals, a secreted serine protease, and a feedback-regulated protease inhibitor [PDF]

open access: yes
The formation of morphogen gradients is of fundamental importance in biology. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) have key functions in embryonic development and the adult, yet little is known about how the distribution and strength of these signals is ...

Gtdap-1 and the role of autophagy during planarian regeneration and starvation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Planarians have been established as an ideal model organism for stem cell research and regeneration. Planarian regeneration and homeostasis require an exquisite balancing act between cell death and cell proliferation as new tissues are made (epimorphosis)
