Alejandro Sánchez-Alvarado, el científico que quiere desvelar los secretos del gusano inmortal El investigador explica cómo un animal diminuto nos puede enseñar a regenerar órganos

Si se corta una planaria en trozos, cada uno de ellos es capaz de regenerar un organismo completo: un pedazo de la cola regenerará una nueva cabeza. El estudio de estos gusanos planos encierra la esperanza de poder imitarlo para regenerar nuestros órganos
