Unidentified planarian. Planarians (triclads) are free-living flatworms of the class Turbellaria, [2] [3] order Tricladida, [4] which includes hundreds of species, found in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats. [5] Planarians are characterized by a three-branched intestine, including a single anterior and two posterior branches. [5]
Regeneration research using planarians began in the late 1800s and was popularized by T.H. Morgan at the beginning of the 20th century. [11] Alejandro Sanchez-Alvarado and Philip Newmark transformed planarians into a model genetic organism in the beginning of the 20th century to study the molecular mechanisms underlying regeneration.

Planaria is a genus of planarians in the family Planariidae. Due to its excellent ability to regenerate, species of Planaria has also been used as model organisms in regeneration studies. [ 1 ] When an individual is cut into pieces, each piece has the ability to regenerate into a fully formed individual. [ 2 ]

Epimorphosis is defined as the regeneration of a specific part of an organism in a way that involves extensive cell proliferation of somatic stem cells, [1] dedifferentiation, and reformation, [2] as well as blastema formation. [3]
In McConnell's experiments, he classically conditioned planarians to contract their bodies upon exposure to light by pairing it with an electric shock. [ 6 ] [ 5 ] The planarians retained this acquired information after being sliced and regenerated , even after multiple slicings to produce a planarian where none of the original trained ...
The four types of regeneration are epimorphosis, stem cell mediated regeneration, morphallaxis, and compensatory regeneration (compensatory hyperplasia). Epimorphosis occurs when other adult cells in a damaged tissue undergo dedifferentiation and then divide to form an undifferentiated mass of tissue, this new mass encompasses the mass of ...
Girardia tigrina, known as the brown planarian or the immigrant triclad flatworm, is a species of dugesiid native to the Americas. [1] It has been accidentally introduced into Europe [ 2 ] and Japan. [ 3 ]
