| Abstract: | Planaria are simple flatworms with an extraordinary ability to regenerate missing body parts. This makes them a unique model system for the study of regeneration. Extending an earlier chemical screen, Beane et al. (2011) now reveal a role for H+/K+ ATPase and membrane depolarization in anterior regeneration in planaria. |
