This Tiny Worm Can Regrow Its Head Because Its Stem Cells Work Without Supervision
When a planarian flatworm loses its head, it simply grows another. The head, if left alone, can grow a body to match. In a ...
Schmidtea mediterranea, a freshwater flatworm (or planarian), has adult pluripotent stem cells spread all throughout its ...
Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical ...
A team of scientists has mapped the regions surrounding stem cells in planarians—small flatworms that are famous for being ...
Stem cells in regenerating planarians don’t need their closest neighbors, overturning researchers’ understanding of the worms ...
Planarian stem cells can be “independent” and turn into any type of cell without needing a nearby niche, a new study indicates.
Stowers scientists uncover new principles guiding how flatworm stem cells regenerate body parts, revealing clues that could advance tissue repair and regenerative medicine in humans. Stem cells in ...
The Drosophila germline stem cell (GSC) niche represents a finely balanced microenvironment where complex intercellular signals converge to regulate stem cell maintenance, differentiation and tissue ...
In a discovery that ties the biology of aging to cancer risk, scientists from the University of Tokyo have found that the ...
BioLamina CEO Klaus Langhoff-Roos discusses the challenges of scaling stem cell production from lab plates to bioreactors, ...
