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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

Monitor lizards are often confused with common house lizards. At first glance, both have long bodies, sharp claws and ...

Lizards possess a remarkable self-defense mechanism called autotomy, where they detach their tails to evade predators. The detached tail continues to wriggle due to reflexive nerve activity, ...

Lizards possess the remarkable skill of tail regeneration, enabling them to escape predators by shedding and later regrowing their tails. However, this ability has limitations and can affect the ...

Understanding how lizards shed and regrow their tails could lead to muscle and nerve regeneration in humans, say scientists. Researchers have identified a genetic programme that triggers new tissue ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich.---University of Michigan ecologists and their colleagues have answered a question that has puzzled biologists for more than a century: What is the main factor that determines a lizard ...

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 ...

Lizards are remarkable creatures, admired for their agility, vibrant colours, and unique defence strategies. One of their most fascinating abilities is autotomy, the self-amputation of the tail to ...

An interdisciplinary team of scientists used next-generation molecular and computer analysis tools to examine the genes turned on in tail regeneration. The team studied the regenerating tail of the ...
