This study develops methods to culture planarian neoblasts and deliver exogenous mRNAs, demonstrating retained pluripotency and improved yield.

This study shows that cavefish enhance lipogenesis via upregulated Pparγ to store more fat, aiding adaptation to nutrient scarcity.

This paper demonstrates heterologous protein expression in planarians using mRNA transfection, improving reporter expression through UTR optimization and codon bias.

Image3C enables single-cell analysis without species-specific reagents by using image-based clustering and CNN integration to detect cellular composition changes.

The paper identifies a novel double-membraned vesiculation process in planarian oocytes during nuclear envelope breakdown, revealing evolutionary adaptability of NEBD.
