Abstract: This review elaborates the idea that organ regeneration derives from specific evolutionary histories of vertebrates. Regenerative ability depends on genomic regulation of genes specific to the life‐cycles that have differentially evolved in anamniotes and amniotes.… read more here.

Abstract: Lizard tail regeneration is likely regulated by the balanced activity of oncogenes and tumor suppressors that control cell proliferation avoiding tumorigenic degeneration. One of the main tumor suppressor genes present in the regenerating tail is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.abh1614
Abstract: Lizard tail autotomy is an antipredator strategy consisting of sturdy attachment at regular times but quick detachment during need. We propose a biomimetic fracture model of lizard tail autotomy using multiscale hierarchical structures. The structures… read more here.
