This study investigates Ephrin signaling's role in neural patterning during planarian tissue homeostasis, finding that EphR1 and ephrin-1 inhibition leads to ectopic mechanosensory neuron markers.

The paper investigates how soxB1-2 influences chromatin dynamics and gene expression during planarian neurogenesis using ATAC-seq and RNA-seq.

This study identifies Smed-pou4-2 as a regulator of mechanosensory neuron regeneration and function in planarians, showing its role in maintaining sensory identity and behavior.

This study investigates the role of polycystic kidney disease-like genes in planarian sensory neuron function and mechanosensation using single-cell RNA-seq and behavioral assays.

The paper identifies critical RING/U-box E3 ubiquitin ligases involved in planarian tissue regeneration through RNAi screening and functional analysis.
