Regenerative stem cell identified and isolated in planaria flatworms
- assblaster 8y agoTldr: planarians, which are flatworms that can regenerate an entire organism, have a specific stem cell that a single cell can regenerate an entire organism. This specific cell has finally been found. This can allow, hopefully, the study of human regeneration and perhaps drugs/cellular techniques that can restart human regeneration after previously impossible to fix injuries.
