[RESEARCH INSIDER] Unlocking the Secrets of Regeneration
Did you know that planarian flatworms can regenerate missing tissues after an injury? How do they know which type of tissue to regenerate? Interestingly, scientists have discovered that the genes that planarians use to regenerate are also found in humans.
