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 ...
Oct. 1 (UPI) --Flatworms known as planaria could soon replace rabbits and other animals as reliable test models for topical skin products, according to a new study. The use of rabbits and other ...
Why are so few species able to regenerate damaged or missing body parts, even though regeneration might seem an obvious survival advantage? Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for ...
Tiny pond worms could help find new ways to treat schizophrenia, develop an understanding of drug addiction and test new medicines for mental illnesses—all while reducing the number of mice and rats ...
Cut off any part of this worm's body and it will regrow. This is the spectacular yet mysterious regenerative ability of freshwater flatworms known as planarians. The lab of Whitehead Institute Member ...
A new, accurate screening tool for clinical skin products has been developed which uses flatworms rather than rabbits. Tests for skin treatments could be screened using flatworms rather than other ...
