Mysteries of Salamander Regeneration Revealed

Mysteries of Salamander Regeneration Revealed

(10)Jul-04-09
A collaborative group of German and American researchers has identified the important biochemical processes involved in the regeneration of limbs of salamanders.

What they have found is that salamander cells located at the area where the damage has occurred keep a memory of what was in the vicinity, providing guidance for regrowth of future cells. The finding opens the possibility that scientists will be able to replicate this phenomenon in humans, leading to treatments for spinal cord injury, loss of arms and legs, and other serious injury.
