Researchers identified nearly a dozen genes that help planarian flatworms regenerate dopamine-producing neurons after injury. Disrupting some of these genes impaired neuron formation and slowed movement, revealing a genetic program that guides stem cells into the right neural cell types and locations. The findings could inform future strategies for generating dopamine neurons for regenerative therapies. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-76397-4
