Ruptosis — the explosive cell death researchers just named in flatworms — kills surrounding cells faster than any previously known cell-death pathway
A newly identified cell type in planarian flatworms can detonate itself and destroy neighboring cells in less than two ...
Dubbed “ruptoblasts,” hormonal triggers cause these cells to detonate and wipe out the surrounding cells within minutes. Although flatworms are distant relatives of humans, this finding could inspire ...
A team of scientists has mapped the regions surrounding stem cells in planarians—small flatworms that are famous for being able to regrow whole bodies from small fragments—and discovered something ...
The flatworms that cause the tropical disease schistosomiasis can live and reproduce inside infected humans for decades. In a new study, researchers identified the stem cells that may be responsible.
Researchers from Lund University in Sweden collected wild flatworms from Malmo's largest park, Pildammsparken. These creatures are masters at regenerating after injury. Now, for the first time, the ...
