Planarian Biology and Electrostimulation

Planarian Biology and Electrostimulation is a research topic within Molecular Biology. Science Explorer counts 9k research works in it since 1950. 20.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the molecular mechanisms underlying planarian regeneration, focusing on topics such as stem cells, bioelectric signals, wound healing, gene expression, and the effects of electrical stimulation. It delves into the role of neoblasts, genome analysis, and the regulation of regeneration polarity.

How concentrated that is

The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
