The paper identifies RoboA and Anosmin-1 as regulators of cell fate in planarian stem cells, showing their role in maintaining organ regeneration fidelity.

The paper shows that physically depleting 16S rRNA from scRNA-seq libraries improves detection of rare transcripts and reduces dropout rates compared to in silico depletion.

This study shows planarian stem cells adjust their behavior based on missing tissue type, with pharynx regeneration requiring specific proliferation and ERK signaling, while eye regeneration does not.

The paper shows that tissue injury can protect stem cells from radiation-induced apoptosis by inducing a transient protective signal from dying cells.

This study identifies PHRED-1 as a gene essential for muscle regeneration and organ patterning in planarians, showing its role in structural integrity and intestinal branching.
