The establishment of size and shape remains a fundamental challenge in biological
research that planarian flatworms uniquely epitomize. Planarians can regenerate complete …

In contrast to mammals, salamanders can regenerate complex structures after injury,
including entire limbs. A central question is whether the generation of progenitor cells during …

Appropriate termination of regenerative processes is critical for producing the correct
number of cells in tissues. Here we provide evidence for an end-product inhibition of …

Limb development in salamanders differs from other tetrapods in that the first digits to form
are the two most anterior (preaxial dominance). This has been proposed as a salamander …

Adult newts efficiently regenerate the heart after injury in a process that involves proliferation
of cardiac muscle and nonmuscle cells and repatterning of the myocardium. To analyze the …

The field of regenerative medicine holds tremendous promise for the treatment of chronic
diseases. While the adult mammalian heart has limited regenerative capacity, previous …

Notophthalmus viridescens, a member of the salamander family is an excellent model
organism to study regenerative processes due to its unique ability to replace lost …

Abstract Background The newt Notophthalmus viridescens possesses the remarkable ability
to respond to cardiac damage by formation of new myocardial tissue. Surprisingly little is …

Teleost fish scale is a dermal skeleton equipped with a strong regenerative ability. Owing to
this regenerative ability, teleost fish scale can be used as a model for the regeneration of the …

We examined the ability of Coleomegilla maculata DeGeer and Hippodamia convergens
Guerin-Meneville to regenerate, during pupation, a foreleg amputated in the fourth instar …
