Krüppel-like factor 4 is required for development and regeneration of germline and yolk cells from somatic stem cells in planarians

2021-11-08

Abstract excerpt

Sexually reproducing animals segregate their germline from their soma. In addition to gamete-producing gonads, planarian and parasitic flatworm reproduction relies on yolk-cell-generating accessory reproductive organs (vitellaria) supporting development of yolkless oocytes. Despite the importance of vitellaria for flatworm reproduction (and parasite transmission), little is known about this unique evolutionary inn...
