Branching out: how a planarian neoblast generates cellular diversity
The extraordinary regenerative capacity of planarians is derived from their large population of pluripotent stem cells called neoblasts. Neoblasts are a heterogenous population of stem cells that begin unspecified, but are rapidly specified within a single cell cycle and give rise to every cell in t...
