Analyses of vertebrate limb bud development continue to provide fundamental insights into how vertebrate organogenesis is orchestrated. Classical patterning signals coordinate specification and ...

A new study gives insight into how limb development evolved in vertebrates. The findings identify a gene that plays a central role in the evolution of limb development in vertebrates. By manipulating ...

University of Kentucky College of Medicine researchers were part of a new study that gives insight into how limb development evolved in vertebrates. The findings, published in Current Biology Oct. 4, ...

Scientists analyzing the regeneration of organs in mammals have found that a type of cell in deer antlers could be a reservoir of cellular renewal in higher vertebrates. Researchers found that when ...

For a lucky subset of vertebrates, losing an appendage is no big deal. As many an inquisitive child knows, salamanders can regenerate lost limbs or tails; and as lab investigators know, zebrafish can ...

The most extensive regenerative ability in adult vertebrates is found in the salamanders. Although it is often suggested that regeneration is an ancestral property for vertebrates, our studies on the ...
