Salamanders are the only terrestrial vertebrates that possess the remarkable ability to regenerate limbs or tails. The vast majority of research on vertebrate regeneration is based on the axolotl ...

Bone regeneration is a remarkable process that varies widely across species and presents significant opportunities for ...

it was mentioned that salamander, like all amphibians, have a tadpole phase where they grow the limbs that enable them to walk on land. Their regeneration skills could lie in the ability to re ...

The scientists highlight another important point: these restricted-potential cells in marine worms are activated by a molecular signaling pathway known as the TOR pathway, which is also involved in ...

Salamanders may have cells that are poised, ready to take place in reaction of regeneration and human cells could be locked down in their potential." Recently, researchers gained access to the ...

The axolotl, or Mexican salamander, is one of the three regenerative species described in a new paper that identified common genetic regulators governing limb regeneration in all three species.

Janet Vaglia and her students study tail development and regeneration in the two-lined salamander, Eurycea cirrigera. Vaglia describes her lab as having the “exciting task of deciphering how ...

Why are axolotls so important? The axolotl is a salamander with an amazing capacity for healing and regeneration. Unlike mammals, the axolotl's wound-healing mechanism usually does not involve the ...

Prayag Murawala, Ph.D., of the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, uses the axolotl, or Mexican salamander, to study tendon regeneration. The axolotl is considered nature's champion of ...
