In it, they explain the molecular mechanism of regeneration in marine worms and thus create a better understanding of the natural reprogramming ability of cells. The study has just been published ...

Most worms in the Annelida phylum can regenerate lost segments to some extent, but many will die if you cut them in half laterally. The tail end of a common earthworm is sometimes able to ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen ...

Researchers at the Max Perutz Labs have uncovered how marine worms regenerate lost body segments. The study reveals that differentiated cells dedifferentiate into a stem cell-like state to rebuild a ...

The worms can reproduce via regeneration, making them hard to kill by chopping or slicing. “At least in temperate regions, reproduction seems to be primarily achieved through fragmentation ...
