Abstract in brief
- The article introduces a straightforward method to measure blastema growth in regenerating planarians, which are used as a model for studying regeneration and chemical toxicity.
- It provides detailed protocols for imaging the regenerating worms, quantifying blastema size using free software, and calculating growth rates through curve fitting, making it accessible for both research and teaching environments.
- While focused on head regeneration in a specific species, Dugesia japonica, the protocols are adaptable to other regeneration sites and planarian species.
