LIM-HD transcription factors are required for regeneration of neuronal and intestinal cell subtypes in planarians

This study identifies and characterizes LIM-HD genes in planarians, showing their roles in brain patterning, neuron subtype regeneration, and intestinal cell identity during regeneration.

Planarian CREB-binding protein (CBP) gene family regulates stem cell maintenance and differentiation

This study identifies and functionally characterizes five CBP genes in planarians, showing their roles in stem cell maintenance and differentiation.

Hydrogen peroxide as regeneration-initiation signal that activates pERK to trigger planarian regeneration

The paper identifies hydrogen peroxide as an upstream signal initiating planarian regeneration by activating pERK and linking it to EGFR-MAPK/ERK pathway activation.
