planarians
Organism2 papers4 findings
In one planarian study, injury increases cell incorporation into peripheral neurons and epidermis, including uninjured epidermal regions weeks later. Proximal injury increases incorporation into spared neural and pharyngeal tissues; body-wall muscle incorporation increases at the wound but decreases distally.
