Acoel and platyhelminth models for stem-cell research

Alexandra E Bely, James M Sikes Journal of Biology 2010, 9:14 (16 February 2010)

The bodies of platyhelminth and acoel worms are continually renewed from large pools of somatic stem cells. Bely and Sikes discuss their consequent attractiveness for stem cell research, and how recent studies, including one in BMC Developmental Biology, reveal aspects of the cellular dynamics and molecular basis of stem-cell function in these animals.
