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, ...

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 ...

When humans lose a limb due to an injury, there are lifelong lifestyle changes that are necessary to accommodate the loss of the arm or leg. In some instances, the changes are minor, with people ...

The axolotl, a type of salamander that stays in the tadpole form throughout its life, is a master of regeneration. Axolotls ...

(CNN) — 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 ...

Many lower organisms retain the miraculous ability to regenerate form and function of almost any tissue after injury. Humans share many of our genes with these organisms, but our capacity for ...

It might sound like something out of the X-men but it came from a lab in California: mutant newts that grew perfect limbs after defective appendages were cut off. The findings help science get one ...

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 ...
