The paper identifies DDR and TMEM132 genes as regulators of progenitor targeting and regenerative assembly in planarian eye regeneration through scRNA-seq and RNAi screening.

This study identifies map3k1 as a suppressor of terminal differentiation in planarian eye regeneration, showing its role in maintaining progenitors in an undifferentiated state during migration.

This study identifies Neuregulin-ErbB signaling from muscle as essential for mobilizing stem cells during whole-body regeneration in Hofstenia miamia.

This study shows that BMP signaling suppresses Wnt signals to integrate anteroposterior and mediolateral patterning in adult planarians, revealing integrated axis control during regeneration.

The paper identifies a muscle midline signaling center regulated by dorsoventral Netrins and Bambi-2 in planarians, which controls blastema formation during regeneration.

The paper uses high-throughput expression profiling and RNAi screening to identify novel regulators of planarian neoblast stem cells.

This study identifies Src-1 as a factor that promotes robustness in planarian anteroposterior axis patterning by restricting head and trunk identities to anterior positions.

The paper shows that positional information determines organ regeneration sites but not tissue maintenance in planarians, as homeostasis can occur independently of precise positional cues.

The paper identifies a conserved TRPA1-mediated signaling mechanism for noxious heat detection across diverse animals, including planarians and humans.
