A forkhead transcription factor is wound-induced at the planarian midline and required for anterior pole regeneration.
Planarian regeneration requires positional information to specify the identity of tissues to be replaced as well as pluripotent neoblasts capable of differentiating into new cell types. We found that wounding elicits rapid expression of a gene encoding a Forkhead-family transcription factor, FoxD. W...
