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, ...

A tiny creature with frilly gills, a polite smile and glowing green skin just gave scientists a major clue to solve one of biology’s biggest mysteries: limb regeneration. Aquatic salamanders called ...

A team at Northeastern University announced Tuesday they discovered a key to limb regeneration in axolotls, the smiley pink salamanders that have become a social media sensation, findings that could ...

Some animals can regrow entire limbs after injury, rebuilding bone, muscle, nerves, and skin as if the damage never happened.

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 ...

Hierarchical communication between cells with distinct positional memories orchestrates the regeneration of missing limb structures in axolotls.

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 ...

Some animals in the world possess the ability to regenerate tissues, allowing them to regrow parts of limbs or entire limbs after amputation. In a study published in the journal PNAS, a ...
