Spontaneous ectopic head formation enables reversal of the body axis polarity in microscopic flatworms
2025-05-15
Abstract excerpt
In most of the animals the antero-posterior axis is specified during early embryogenesis. However, in the organisms that undergo somatic asexual reproduction constant re-establishment of the body axis occurs during each asexual act in the context of the fully formed adult body.
