Urodele amphibian newts have an outstanding history as experimental animals in various
research fields such as developmental biology and regeneration biology. We have reported …

The mammalian hearing organ is a regular array of two types of hair cells (HCs) surrounded
by six types of supporting cells. Along the tonotopic axis, this conserved radial array of cell …

Notophthalmus viridescens (Red-spotted Newt) possess amazing capabilities to regenerate
their organs and other tissues. Previously, using a de novo assembly of the newt …

The monocot family Melanthiaceae with varying genome sizes in a range of 230-fold is an
ideal model to study the genome size fluctuation in plants. Its family member Paris genus …

The regeneration of salamander limbs has been a special fascination among scientists and
keen observers for centuries. Perhaps due to how closely the salamander's limb …

The review examines the role of oxidative stress (OS) in the primary response of the neural
eye tissue cells to damage and degenerative processes. The imbalance (homeostasis) of …

Loss-of-function approaches provide strong evidence for determining the role of particular
genes. The prevalent CRISPR/Cas9 technique is widely used to disrupt target gene with …

Regeneration of a complex appendage structure such as limb requires upstream and
downstream coordination of multiple types of cells. Given type of cell may sit at higher …

Animal sex pheromone systems often exist as multicomponent signals [1–11] to which
chemical cues have been added over evolutionary time. Little is known on why and how …

Salamanders, frog tadpoles and diverse lizards have the remarkable ability to regenerate
tails. Palaeontological data suggest that this capacity is plesiomorphic, yet when the …
