Planarian Worms Can Regenerate Into a More Youthful Version of Themselves

New research from Michigan Medicine highlights potential links between Planarian worms and immortality. Longhua Guo, an assistant professor at U-M Medical School, discusses his research into the regenerative capabilities of planarian worms, and whether these principles could be applied to mammals. Guo’s research indicates that planarians can reverse age-related decline through cell regeneration.
