Muscle guidepost-like cells (magenta) affiliate with the axons of the planarian visual system in yellow. Blue, nuclei. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 26 June issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by M. Scimone at Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Cambridge, MA, and colleagues was titled, "Muscle and neuronal guidepost-like cells facilitate planarian visual system regeneration" view more
