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. (Joint work with Arnd Scheel and Christoph Tenbrock)
