Animal regeneration, the ability to restore a lost body part, is a process that has fascinated
scientists for centuries. In this review, we first present what regeneration is and how it relates …

Planarians have a remarkable regenerative ability owing to their adult pluripotent stem cells
(aPSCs), which are called “neoblasts.” Planarians maintain a considerable number of …

Glyphosate (GLY) is one of the most widely used agrochemicals in the world, and its
exposure has become a public health concern. The freshwater planarian is an ideal test …

The developing brain is more vulnerable to chemicals than the adult brain, but
environmental chemicals have only been sparingly tested for developmental neurotoxicity …

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs that associate with members of
the PIWI clade of the Argonaute superfamily of proteins. piRNAs are predominantly found in …

Motile cilia propel directed cell movements and sweep fluids across the surface of tissues.
Orthologs of Dynein Assembly Factor with WD Repeat Domains 1 (DAW1) support normal …

Regeneration, the restoration of body parts after injury, is quite widespread in the animal
kingdom. Species from virtually all Phyla possess regenerative abilities. Human beings …

Detection of chemical stimuli is crucial for living systems and also contributes to quality of life
in humans. Since loss of olfaction becomes more prevalent with aging, longer life …

The overwhelming majority of RNA species isolated from cells or tissues using organic
extraction are ribosomal RNAs (rRNA), whereas a relatively small percentage are …

Production, distribution, and disposal of pharmaceutical products, including beta-blockers,
have become a global issue. Beta-blockers are known to persist in the environment months …
