Effects of melatonin on planaria head regeneration are dependent on both timing and duration of exposure by Simon C. Beeching, Hanna E. Ruland, Katelyn M. Sparks

“…Head regeneration in planaria is a remarkable phenomenon in which stem cells (neoblasts) migrate to the wound site, proliferate, then differentiate into all functional tissue types within days of injury. We investigated how both the timing and duration of melatonin exposure affect head regeneration in the planaria Phagocata gracilis (Haldeman). …”
