The remarkable regenerative capacity of the fresh water planarian Schmidtea mediterranea is useful for studying stem cell identity and function. Several novel miRNAs have recently been identified in this organism, but their roles in neoblasts and during regeneration are unknown. Here, the authors use next-generation sequencing to identify miRNAs that are enriched in neoblast subpopulations and in regenerating tissue at different time points during regeneration. The findings provide new insight into the identities of the miRNAs that support planarian regeneration and neoblast function.
