Planaria are flatworms which possess the ability to regenerate after rather severe injuries to their body. Even very small tissue parts cut from the flatworm can regenerate to a fully functioning and intact organism.
A system of reaction-diffusion equations with dynamic boundary conditions which is based on experimental data is discussed. This mathematical model correctly reproduces typical cut and graft experiments.
