Anatomical terminology |
Neoblasts (ˈniːəʊˌblæst) are adult stem cells found in planarian flatworms. They are the only dividing planarian cells, and they produce all cell types, including the germline.[1][2] Neoblasts are abundant in the planarian parenchyma, and comprise up to 30 percent of all cells.[1] Following injury, neoblasts rapidly divide and generate new cells, which allows planarians to regenerate any missing tissue.[1]
