Journal ArticleDOI

SABER amplifies FISH: enhanced multiplexed imaging of RNA and DNA in cells and tissues.

TL;DR: This work introduces signal amplification by exchange reaction (SABER), which endows oligonucleotide-based FISH probes with long, single-stranded DNA concatemers that aggregate a multitude of short complementary fluorescent imager strands, resulting in up to 450-fold signal amplification.
Journal ArticleDOI

A molecular wound response program associated with regeneration initiation in planarians

TL;DR: Most planarian wound-induced genes are conserved across metazoans, and identified genes and mechanisms should be important broadly for understanding wound signaling and regeneration initiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neoblast Specialization in Regeneration of the Planarian Schmidtea mediterranea

TL;DR: It is suggested that specification of cell fate for most-to-all regenerative lineages occurs within neoblasts, with regenerative cells of blastemas being generated from a highly heterogeneous collection of lineage-specified neoblast subsets.
