Early planarian brain regeneration is independent of blastema polarity mediated by the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Analysis of anteroposterior (AP) axis specification in regenerating planarian flatworms has shown that Wnt/β-catenin signaling is required for posterior specification and that the FGF-like receptor molecule nou-darake (ndk) may be involved in restricting brain regeneration to anterior regions. The r...
