Shape mode analysis exposes movement patterns in biology: flagella and flatworms as case studies [PDF]
, 2014 We illustrate shape mode analysis as a simple, yet powerful technique to concisely describe complex biological shapes and their dynamics. We characterize undulatory bending waves of beating flagella and reconstruct a limit cycle of flagellar oscillations,

Physiological and molecular characterisation of cadmium stress in Schmidtea mediterranea
The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2012 The planarian Schmidtea mediterranea is a well-studied model organism for developmental research, because of its stem cell system. This characteristic also provides a unique opportunity to study stress management and the effect of stress on stem cells.

The head-regeneration transcriptome of the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2011 Abstract Background Planarian flatworms can regenerate their head, including a functional brain, within less than a week. Despite the enormous potential of these animals for medical research and regenerative medicine, the mechanisms of regeneration and the molecules involved remain largely unknown.

SmedGD 2.0: The Schmidtea mediterranea genome database. [PDF]
Genesis, 2015 SummaryPlanarians have emerged as excellent models for the study of key biological processes such as stem cell function and regulation, axial polarity specification, regeneration, and tissue homeostasis among others. The most widely used organism for these studies is the free‐living flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea.

bioRxiv, 2023 Planarian flatworms undergo continuous internal turnover, wherein old cells are replaced by the division progeny of adult pluripotent stem cells known as neoblasts.

Development, Growth &Differentiation, Volume 65, Issue 9, Page 577-590, December 2023., 2023 We succeeded in establishing a new method for fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) isolation of viable planarian neoblasts that can proliferate in the x‐ray‐irradiated planarians after staining the dissociated cells with only calcein AM. Abstract Planarians show outstanding regenerative ability due to the proliferation of neoblasts.

A mex3 homolog is required for differentiation during planarian stem cell lineage development
eLife, 2015 Neoblasts are adult stem cells (ASCs) in planarians that sustain cell replacement during homeostasis and regeneration of any missing tissue. While numerous studies have examined genes underlying neoblast pluripotency, molecular pathways driving ...

Ammonia excretion in the freshwater planarianSchmidtea mediterranea [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2012 SummaryIn aquatic invertebrates metabolic nitrogenous waste is excreted predominately as ammonia. Very little is known, however, of the underlying mechanisms of ammonia excretion, particularly in freshwater species. Our results indicate that in the non-parasitic freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea ammonia excretion depends on an acidification ...
