Planarian regeneration: Its end is its beginning
Article Abstract:
Increased understanding of gene function is required to dissect the genetics, cell biology and physiological aspects that make regeneration possible. A largely ignored animal model of regeneration that is making a comeback is the planarian, a simple platyhelminth worms.

Wagging the dogma: Tissue-specific cell cycle control in the mouse embryo
Article Abstract:
Observations of cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) functioning in embryo of mice show that the functions of G1 cell cycle regulatory genes are essential only in specific cell types. Further studies on tissue-specific expression in the CDK network are suggested.

Spatial positioning: a new dimension in genome function
Article Abstract:
The nuclear space has chromosomes that are non randomly positioned. Spatial positioning in genome activity and stability continues to be largely mysterious.
