China's space station is set to introduce a novel participant in its space science experiments — the planarian, a creature renowned for its extraordinary regenerative capabilities, China Media Group ...

These organisms demonstrate an exceptional capacity for tissue repair: when bisected, planarians can regenerate lost muscles, skin, intestines, and even an entire brain from each segment -- a ...

Salamanders can regenerate their lost body parts like limbs, tail, and even part of their heart and spinal cord. This ...

The study provides convincing evidence for variable regeneration efficiency among planarian species that will be of interest to developmental biologists interested in regeneration. However, some of ...

“Planarians can regenerate their whole lives, but how do they limit their ... A former intern at The Scientist, Amy studied neurobiology at Cornell University and later earned her MFA in creative ...

Regeneration of tissues and organs is one of the great unsolved mysteries of biology. Whitehead Member Peter W. Reddien works to shed light on that mystery through research on the planarian Schmidtea ...

Planarian flatworms regenerate their heads and tails after amputation. It turns out that they use Wnt–β-catenin signalling to determine where the head and the tail should form. Figure 1 ...
