The axolotl, a type of salamander that stays in the tadpole form throughout its life, is a master of regeneration. Axolotls ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications, EPFL researchers shed light on the axolotl's unparalleled limb regeneration abilities, challenging long-held beliefs and offering new insights into ...

A new study gives insight into how limb development evolved in vertebrates. The findings identify a gene that plays a central role in the evolution of limb development in vertebrates. By manipulating ...

University of Kentucky College of Medicine researchers were part of a new study that gives insight into how limb development evolved in vertebrates. The findings, published in Current Biology Oct. 4, ...

For most vertebrates, losing a limb is permanent, but a lucky few species -- such as salamanders and tadpoles -- have the ability to completely regrow complex body parts. Understanding the molecular ...

Scientists analyzing the regeneration of organs in mammals have found that a type of cell in deer antlers could be a reservoir of cellular renewal in higher vertebrates. Researchers found that when ...

Recent research into limb regeneration in amphibians has revealed a sophisticated orchestration of molecular and cellular events that enable these species to restore lost appendages. At the centre of ...

It might sound like something out of the X-men but it came from a lab in California: mutant newts that grew perfect limbs after defective appendages were cut off. The findings help science get one ...

This image shows Xenopus laevis swimming in a tank pre-amputation. [Celia Herrera-Rincon/Tufts University] Scientists at Tufts University have developed a wearable bioreactor that can promote partial ...

For most vertebrates, losing a limb is permanent, but a lucky few species -- such as salamanders and tadpoles -- have the ability to completely regrow complex body parts. Understanding the molecular ...

An amputated salamander limb regenerates the correct number of segments. Models explaining limb regeneration were largely distinct from those for limb development, despite the presence of common ...
