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, ...

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 ...

A tiny creature with frilly gills, a polite smile and glowing green skin just gave scientists a major clue to solve one of biology’s biggest mysteries: limb regeneration. Aquatic salamanders called ...

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 a lucky subset of vertebrates, losing an appendage is no big deal. As many an inquisitive child knows, salamanders can regenerate lost limbs or tails; and as lab investigators know, zebrafish can ...

The most extensive regenerative ability in adult vertebrates is found in the salamanders. Although it is often suggested that regeneration is an ancestral property for vertebrates, our studies on the ...

Researchers find that the molecular mechanisms underlying tail regeneration in West African lungfish are similar to those seen in amphibians, suggesting the trait evolved in a common ancestor. For ...

Salamanders are the only terrestrial vertebrates that possess the remarkable ability to regenerate limbs or tails. The vast ...
