Acoel regeneration mechanisms indicate an ancient role for muscle in regenerative patterning

Planarian regenerative mechanisms suggest that muscle has an instructive role in patterning. Here, the authors show that muscle is also responsible for regenerative patterning information in an early-branching bilaterian, Hofstenia miamia, dating this back to the dawn of the Bilateria, over 550 mill...
