The freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea: embryogenesis, stem cells and regeneration.
Planarians have been used as a model to study development and regeneration for more than 200 years. Research on these animals has traditionally focused on surgical and pharmacological manipulations. Recently, the dissection of planarians has become more molecular in nature. The isolation of thousands of expressed sequence tags and the introduction of in situ hybridizations, immunocytology, and ...
متن کاملAmmonia excretion in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea.
In aquatic invertebrates, metabolic nitrogenous waste is excreted predominately as ammonia. Very little is known, however, of the underlying mechanisms of ammonia excretion, particularly in freshwater species. Our results indicate that in the non-parasitic freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea, ammonia excretion depends on acidification of the apical unstirred layer of the body surface an...
متن کاملCellular, ultrastructural and molecular analyses of epidermal cell development in the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea.
The epidermis is essential for animal survival, providing both a protective barrier and cellular sensor to external environments. The generally conserved embryonic origin of the epidermis, but the broad morphological and functional diversity of this organ across animals is puzzling. We define the transcriptional regulators underlying epidermal lineage differentiation in the planarian Schmidtea ...
متن کامل05-P016 DNA methylation in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea
(Shaked etal., PLoS ONE 2008). To further investigate this finding, several different approaches have been taken. First, the expression of HDAC-regulated candidate genes responsible for controlling neurogenesis has been examined through quantitative realtime RT-PCR. TSA-based inhibition of HDAC activity resulted in upregulation of Bmp2, Stat1, Stat3, Ngn1 and Ngn2 in neural precursors from both...
متن کاملA Graph-Based Clustering Approach to Identify Cell Populations in Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Data
Introduction: The emergence of single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has provided new information about the structure of cells, and provided data with very high resolution of the expression of different genes for each cell at a single time. One of the main uses of scRNA-seq is data clustering based on expressed genes, which sometimes leads to the detection of rare cell populations. ...
