The BAF chromatin remodeling complex licenses planarian stem cells access to ectodermal and mesodermal cell fates

Abstract Background The flatworm planarian, Schmidtea mediterranea, has a large population of adult stem cells (ASCs) that replace any cell type during tissue turnover or regeneration. How planarian ASCs (called neoblasts) manage self-renewal with the ability to produce daughter cells of different c...
