Abstract The Iberian ribbed newt (Pleurodeles waltl) constitutes a central model for probing
the basis of regeneration. Here, we present the sequencing and chromosome-scale …

Urodele newts have unique biological properties, notably including prominent regeneration
ability. The Iberian ribbed newt, Pleurodeles waltl, is a promising model amphibian …

Exhibiting extreme regenerative abilities which extend to complex organs and entire limbs,
salamanders have long served as research models for understanding the basis of vertebrate …

Skin wounds are among the most common injuries in animals and humans. Vertebrate skin
is composed of an epidermis and dermis. After a deep skin injury in mammals, the wound …

During organ regeneration, after the initial responses to injury, gene expression patterns
similar to those in normal development are reestablished during subsequent …

Background Salamanders stand out among vertebrate animals in two key characteristics:
their ability to regenerate body parts, and their large and variable genome sizes. Results …

Among tetrapods, only salamanders can regenerate their limbs and tails throughout life. This
amazing regenerative ability has attracted the attention of scientists for hundreds of years …

Organ regeneration occurs in anamniotes (fish and amphibians) while is absent in amniotes
(reptiles, birds and mammals). An evolutionary hypothesis is presented to explain the loss of …

Dispersal is a key process in ecology and evolutionary biology, as it shapes biodiversity
patterns over space and time. Attitude to disperse is unevenly distributed among individuals …

Background Previous studies have suggested that macrophages are present during lens
regeneration in newts, but their role in the process is yet to be elucidated. Methods Here we …
