The ability to regenerate damaged or lost tissues has remained the lofty goal of regenerative
medicine. Unfortunately, humans, like most mammals, suffer from very minimal natural …

Caudal autotomy—the ability to self-detach the tail—is a dramatic adaptation common to
many structural-grade lizards. For most species, tail loss is followed by the equally dramatic …

Lizards cannot naturally regenerate limbs but are the closest known relatives of mammals
capable of epimorphic tail regrowth. However, the mechanisms regulating lizard blastema …

Lizards, which are amniote vertebrates like humans, are able to lose and regenerate a
functional tail. Understanding the molecular basis of this process would advance …

The present review summarizes biochemical, histochemical and immunocytochemical
aspects of the process of tissue regeneration in lizards, non-mammalian amniotes with high …

The ability to regenerate amputated or injured tissues and organs is a fascinating property
shared by several invertebrates and, interestingly, some vertebrates. The mechanism of …

Lizards are amniotes with the remarkable ability to regenerate amputated tails. The early
regenerated lizard tail forms a blastema, and the regenerated skeleton consists of a …

This review elaborates the idea that organ regeneration derives from specific evolutionary
histories of vertebrates. Regenerative ability depends on genomic regulation of genes …

Lizards capable of caudal autotomy exhibit the remarkable ability to “drop” and then
regenerate their tails. However, the regenerated lizard tail (RLT) is known as an “imperfect …

Among extant tetrapods, salamanders are unique in showing a reversed preaxial polarity in
patterning of the skeletal elements of the limbs, and in displaying the highest capacity for …
