After studying the axolotl for 8 years, researchers are developing a line of cosmeceutical and over-the-counter products ...

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 ...

For decades, scientists have focused on how certain animals like salamanders and zebrafish regenerate complex structures, ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

How is it that a salamander can regrow an amputated limb but a higher animal cannot? The question is investigated by means of experiments with the salamander and the frog ...

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 ...
