According to a study from Kyoto, Japan, "The remarkable regenerative ability of planarians is made possible by a system of pluripotent stem cells. Recent molecular biological and ultrastructural studies have revealed that planarian stem cells consist of heterogeneous populations, which can be classified into several subsets according to their differential expression of RNA binding protein genes."
"In this study, we focused on planarian musashi family genes. Musashi encodes an evolutionarily conserved RNA binding protein known to be expressed in neural lineage cells, including neural stem cells, in many animals. Here, we investigated whether planarian musashi-like ...
