Polarized notum Activation at Wounds Inhibits Wnt Function to Promote Planarian Head Regeneration

Regeneration requires initiation of programs tailored to the identity of missing parts. Head-versus-tail regeneration in planarians presents a paradigm for study of this phenomenon. After injury, Wnt signaling promotes tail regeneration. We report that wounding elicits expression of the Wnt inhibito...
