| summary | The most extensive repertoire of regenerative ability in adult vertebrates is found in the urodele amphibians (salamanders), and includes the limbs. Limb regeneration depends on intriguing mechanisms that include reprogramming of differentiated cells, specification of structures on an adult scale, and dependence on regenerating nerve axons. This background information helps us to approach the difficult questions about regeneration as an evolutionary variable. Why does a salamander regenerate its limbs while other tetrapod vertebrates cannot? |
