Identifying the Key Genes for Regeneration | HHMI BioInteractive Video

Planarians have an amazing ability to regenerate lost tissues. In this video, scientists knock out two different genes in planaria to start to understand how the process works—and they generate animals with two heads and two tails!

Clearly explained, nicely shot, calmly and enjoyably narrated and layered with good music, unobtrusive music. All in all: excellent video.

Wow this video was very good! You guys reaally deserve a bigger audience. I really feel like I've learned something important :D The video lengh is perfect to deliver an intresting presentation about the subject :D Keep that good work up :)

such a great video, thanks to everyone involved in making it!

Genius.. I now regret going into computer science vs study of planeria regeneration. Fascinating finding.

yo whats up Mr. Arias's biology class! my name is edgar and I watched this video along with you!

Head and tail ok, but all the other body parts. Amazing, mind blown

Why don't the differentiated cells (d.c.) repress the diffarentiation of the adult stemmcells(a.s.) with enzyms. That way everytime one d.c. dies or gets destroyed the adult stemmcells start to diffarentiate. This would create one d.c and one a.s. everytime one d.c. gets destroyed. But somehow the a.s. would need to know how often they need to multiply...

We're do they find planarians at ?

[ejazkhan]

Is it possible to inject it's DNA in a human body?

[rgaleny]

what about the EXTRA CELLULAR MATRIX powder ?

[tech.zoologicalandfunny]

Sir its too good field
Ishaallah one day i will identifie the regeneration gene and become anble to apply it to hummans
My work of interest is gene identification

[BotaliaX]

They even have a cute face, such a fantasy

Forget about human stem cells because tapeworms have far more better stem cells than humans
