Research article
Characterization of the stem cell system of the acoel Isodiametra pulchra Katrien De Mulder, Georg Kuales, Daniela Pfister, Maxime Willems, Bernhard Egger, Willi Salvenmoser, Marlene Thaler, Anne-Kathrin Gorny, Martina Hrouda, Gaëtan Borgonie, Peter Ladurner BMC Developmental Biology 2009, 9:69 (18 December 2009) The acoel Isodiametra pulchra has neoblasts that are potent stem cells crucial for tissue homeostasis, development and regeneration, and is a new model organism for studying development in this primitive bilaterian phylum.

Research article
Kiyono Sekii, Willi Salvenmoser, Katrien De Mulder, Lukas Scharer, Peter Ladurner BMC Developmental Biology 2009, 9:62 (8 December 2009) An elav-like gene, melav-2, is exclusively expressed in the testis of the flatworm Macrostomum lignano and its knockdown by RNAi induces precocious chromatin condensation and aberrant cell elongation during spermiogenesis, resulting in immature spermatids and male sterility.
