TEMPE, Ariz. – By understanding the secret of how lizards regenerate their tails, researchers may be able to develop ways to stimulate the regeneration of limbs in humans. Now, a team of researchers ...

Lizard tail regeneration represents a remarkable example of epimorphic regeneration in amniote vertebrates, offering insights into tissue repair processes that contrast sharply with the scarring ...

Several animals are known to regenerate body parts. Zebrafish, for example, can regrow fins. Newts can regrow tails and even limbs. These organisms, however, may have few tissue-regeneration lessons ...

The genetic “recipe” for lizard tail regeneration has been uncovered, paving the way for the development of human tissue regeneration therapies. A team led by scientists from Arizona State University ...

Lizard tails have fascinated humans from ancient times, falling off and growing back just like new. Now, scientists have solved the mystery of how lizards can regenerate their tails. They discovered ...

Lizards are famous for their regeneration, able to regrow their tails on demand, but the new tail is not quite perfect. Now, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have used stem ...

If you ever had a pet lizard as a child, it was quite likely a green anole. As is the case with other lizards, they have the ability to break off their own tail when attacked by a predator, and then ...

For people who've lost a limb, advances in materials and 3D printing have produced a slew of new prosthetics that deliver greater mobility, custom fitting, and sleek designs. Yet the ability to ...

Any kid who pulls on a lizard tail knows it can drop off to avoid capture, but how they regrow a new tail remains a mystery. Now, researchers have identified tiny RNA switches, known as microRNAs, ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract 1. Many lizards will lose their tail through autotomy as an antipredator device even though there must be significant costs during tail ...

Lizards can regrow severed tails, making them the closest relative to humans that can regenerate a lost appendage. But in lieu of the original tail that includes a spinal column and nerves, the ...
