A germline-soma distinction—irreversible differentiation from reproductive germline cells to
sterile somatic cells—is a landmark of cellular cooperation in metazoans. Traditionally, this …

Background Unlike most free-living platyhelminths, catenulids, the sister group to all
remaining flatworms, do not have eyes. Instead, the most prominent sensory structures in …

In this work, the morphogenesis mechanisms are considered from the complexity
perspective. It is shown that both morphogenesis and the functioning of organs should be …

Planarians are well-known model organisms for regeneration and developmental biology
research due to their remarkable regenerative capacity. Here, we aim to advocate for the …

The planarian Schmidtea mediterranea can regenerate its entire body from small tissue
fragments and is studied as whole-body regeneration model species. While well-annotated …

Regeneration involves a highly coordinated interplay of intricate cellular processes,
enabling living organisms to renew and repair themselves, from individual cells to entire …

The capacity to regenerate lost or damaged organs is widespread among animals, and yet,
the species in which regeneration has been experimentally probed using molecular and …

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