Genome and transcriptome of the regeneration-competent flatworm, Macrostomum lignano.
The free-living flatworm, Macrostomum lignano has an impressive regenerative capacity. Following injury, it can regenerate almost an entirely new organism because of the presence of an abundant somatic stem cell population, the neoblasts. This set of unique properties makes many flatworms attractive organisms for studying the evolution of pathways involved in tissue self-renewal, cell-fate spec...

متن کاملThe Flatworm Macrostomum lignano Is a Powerful Model Organism for Ion Channel and Stem Cell Research
Bioelectrical signals generated by ion channels play crucial roles in many cellular processes in both excitable and nonexcitable cells. Some ion channels are directly implemented in chemical signaling pathways, the others are involved in regulation of cytoplasmic or vesicular ion concentrations, pH, cell volume, and membrane potentials. Together with ion transporters and gap junction complexes,...
متن کاملThe Hippo pathway regulates stem cells during homeostasis and regeneration of the flatworm Macrostomum lignano.
The Hippo pathway orchestrates activity of stem cells during development and tissue regeneration and is crucial for controlling organ size. However, roles of the Hippo pathway in highly regenerative organisms, such as flatworms, are unknown. Here we show that knockdown of the Hippo pathway core genes in the flatworm Macrostomum lignano affects tissue homeostasis and causes formation of outgrowt...
متن کاملThe free-living flatworm Macrostomum lignano: a new model organism for ageing research.
To study the several elements and causes of ageing, diverse model organisms and methodologies are required. The most frequently used models are Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster and rodents. All have their advantages and disadvantages and allow studying particular aspects of the ageing process. During the last few years, several ageing studies focussed on...
