Different requirement for Wnt/β-catenin signaling in limb regeneration of larval and adult Xenopus.

Different requirement for Wnt/β-catenin signaling in limb regeneration of larval and adult Xenopus.

BACKGROUND:In limb regeneration of amphibians, the early steps leading to blastema formation are critical for the success of regeneration, and the initiation of regeneration in an adult limb requires the presence of nerves. Xenopus laevis tadpoles can completely regenerate an amputated limb at the e...
