Mapping limb regeneration is an intricate, molecular dance. If an axolotl loses a leg, it gets a new one–complete with a functional foot and all four toes. Over just a few weeks or months, bone, ...

Axolotls are known for their ability to grow back just about any body part that is bitten off by a predator, but the trigger for this regeneration was a mystery until now. It turns out that retinoic ...

Axolotls, with their signature smiles and pink gills, are the celebrities of the salamander world. But they are more than just cute: They might also hold the secret to regenerating human limbs. Among ...

Although often glossed over, the human liver is a pretty amazing organ. Not just because it’s pretty much the sole thing that prevents our food from killing us, but also because it’s the only organ in ...

However, the current study examined regeneration in juvenile axolotls, and to fully understand the implications for regenerative medicine involving adult tissue, it is important to extend the current ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Injuries are a part of life. When humans get hurt, our wounds heal, but scars remain and lost body parts never return. In the ...
