Demographic analysis reveals gradual senescence in the flatworm <it>Macrostomum lignano</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Free-living flatworms ("Turbellaria") are appropriate model organisms to gain better insight into the role of stem cells in ageing and rejuvenation. Ageing research in flatworms is, however, still scarce. This is partly due to culture difficulties and t...
