The adorable salamanders are helping scientists investigate a serious question: Could the human body be coaxed to regrow a ...

Axolotls are known for their ability to grow back just about any body part that is bitten off by a predator, but the trigger ...

Could humans be capable of growing new limbs? Scientists are trying to figure that out with the aid of an unexpected resource ...

“We discovered it’s essentially a single enzyme called CYP26b1, that regulates the amount of tissue that regenerates,” Monaghan says. CYP26b1 breaks down retinoic acid, so when the gene that makes the ...

A new study reveals the key lies not in the production of a regrowth molecule, but in that molecule's controlled destruction.

A better understanding of how these amphibians grow new appendages may lead to better wound healing—or even new limbs—in ...

Human limb regeneration is likely far off in the future, but once scientists understand more about retinoic acid signaling, technology could help return this regenerative ability to human cells to ...

Future technology inspired by axolotls could possibly help humans regenerate limbs—we have what is needed, but need to find out how to make those pieces communicate like they do in axolotls.

Axolotls, with their signature smiles and pink gills, are the celebrities of the salamander world. But they are more than just cute: They might also hold the secret to regenerating human limbs.

Researchers at Northeastern University use axolotls to study limb regeneration. Ukraine's F-16 took down Russian fighter jet in "historic first": Report Huge Mistakes Everyone Makes With Corn On ...
