A carcinogenic trigger to study the function of tumor suppressor genes in Schmidtea mediterranea
Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2018 Planarians have been long known for their regenerative ability, which hinges on pluripotency. Recently, however, the planarian model has been successfully established for routine toxicological screens aimed to assess overproliferation, mutagenicity and ...
