- Summary:
- The complex phenomenon of limb regeneration that occurs in some Amphibia involves unique molecular and cellular mechanisms. When a limb is amputated, a new one is produced by the transformation of the remaining adult limb tissues into and embryonic-like cell mass called the blastema. The sequence of developmental events shown during regeneration reproduces not only the normal process of cell differentiation but also that of pattern formation, because the regenerated limb is faithful cop of the original.
