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 ...

If you ever had a pet lizard as a child, it was quite likely a green anole. As is the case with other lizards, they have the ability to break off their own tail when attacked by a predator, and then ...

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 ...

Just because a lizard can grow back its tail, doesn't mean it will be exactly the same. Researchers examined the anatomical and microscopic make-up of regenerated lizard tails and discovered that the ...

For people who've lost a limb, advances in materials and 3D printing have produced a slew of new prosthetics that deliver greater mobility, custom fitting, and sleek designs. Yet the ability to ...

The genetic “recipe” for lizard tail regeneration has been uncovered, paving the way for the development of human tissue regeneration therapies. A team led by scientists from Arizona State University ...

Whether you've lived here a lifetime or are a new resident, you have probably noticed a small green lizard in your yard. Several different kinds of lizards inhabit our landscapes. Generally, they are ...

THE regenerated tail of a lizard is not a perfect replica of the original, but a poor knock-off with a different anatomy. This finding raises the question of whether it will ever be possible to fully ...

In today’s Academic Minute, Dr. Rebecca Fisher of the University of Arizona explains how a species of lizard is able to regenerate their self-amputated tails. Rebecca Fisher is an associate professor ...

Quick Take Cuban knight anoles, large green lizards from Cuba, are spreading through Florida’s towns and suburbs. Urban ...

On this week’s Wild Wednesday, Great Plains Zoo Education Specialist Elizabeth Mansell teaches us about the prehensile-tailed skink!

(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 ...
