flatworm

Research in animals and people supports a range of mechanisms by which the parasites affect physiology and immune responses.

The Tel Aviv University researcher is interested in how the macromolecules affect the health and behavior of successive generations of worms.

Planarians are turned into art by a group of scientists and artists.

Scientists have manipulated the electrical signals that help guide flatworms in regenerating their body parts to encourage a flatworm to grow two heads.

At magnetic field intensities somewhat above that of Earth, stem cell proliferation shifts gears.

The new data could help identify treatments for diseases ranging from river blindness to schistosomiasis.

What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes

The flatworm, Macrostomum hystrix, can inject its own sperm into its head, a new study shows.

Researchers identify a signaling pathway that can control how well flatworms regenerate the front parts of their bodies.
