Abstract:
For hundreds of years, scientists have been inspired by the regeneration phenomena in nature. Thanks to the development in the research tools for molecular biology, our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in regeneration has been greatly deepened. Besides the increasing knowledge obtained from the studies on the molecular mechanisms of amphibian regeneration, accumulating evidence has proved that mammals may also have regenerative property, and the repair mechanisms should be conserved cross the species. Therefore, better clinical therapies are expected with the elucidation of regeneration mechanisms. Through introduction of the recent progress in amphibian appendage and mammalian regeneration, we expect the readers to have the fundamental understanding in this promising field.
