Comparison of molecular and cellular events during lower jaw regeneration of newt (<i>Cynops pyrrhogaster</i>) and West African clawed frog (<i>Xenopus tropicalis</i>)

Abstract excerpt

When mammals, including humans, lose a major part of their lower jaw, they are unable to regenerate the lost structures. Urodele amphibians, especially newts, can regenerate their lower jaw after amputation, whereas most anuran amphibians, including the West African clawed frog, can not. In the present study, we investigated the difference between newts and frogs during lower jaw regeneration. One difference was...
