This study identifies the pituitary as a conserved regulator of regeneration across vertebrates, showing its role in limb and fin regeneration through prolactin and growth hormone signaling.

This study characterizes axolotl perilymph-cerebrospinal fluid (P-CSF) during limb regeneration, identifying proteomic and metabolomic changes associated with amputation.

This paper shows that adrenergic signaling coordinates systemic and local stem cell activation after amputation in axolotls, enhancing regeneration.

This study shows VEGF signaling is essential for salamander limb regeneration and blastema expansion, independent of angiogenesis, and functions upstream of EMT transcription factors.

This study examines long-range epidermal permeability changes after amputation in axolotls and planarians, finding increased permeability and MAPK signaling downregulation in axolotls and functional evidence of MAPK inhibition increasing permeability in planarians.
