Lizard tail regeneration represents a remarkable example of epimorphic regeneration in amniote vertebrates, offering insights into tissue repair processes that contrast sharply with the scarring ...

Lizards are famous for their regeneration, able to regrow their tails on demand, but the new tail is not quite perfect. Now, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have used stem ...

Lizards can regrow severed tails, making them the closest relative to humans that can regenerate a lost appendage. But in lieu of the original tail that includes a spinal column and nerves, the ...

A team of researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have published the first detailed description of the interplay between two cell types that allow lizards to regenerate their tails. This ...

The University of Southern California bioengineer studies how lizards regrow their tails, with the goal of one day inducing regeneration in humans. Thomas Lozito began investigating amphibians and ...
