The catch, at least from the evolutionary angle, is that these prodigious healing abilities require a huge amount of energy to sustain and most animals just aren’t designed to handle it. A newly discovered cell from one of biology’s favorite test subjects, namely the flatworm planaria, shows us that even whole-body regeneration from a single cell is possible. Researchers have long known that planaria can create many new worms if they are destroyed or their cells are separated, but the scientists didn’t fully understand how the process worked until now. Stem cells, as you may know, are capable of transforming themselves into any type of cell — though there can often be some other restrictions based on the species they’re taking from. This led researchers to conduct trials to understand which types of stem cells would be able to regrow a whole new worm on its own — and how.
