The paper shows that Fgf induces ECM degradation via Mmps expression in frogs, promoting joint regeneration through BMP secretion and blastema cell activity.

This study shows that Fgf10 mutants in newts can regenerate near-normal hindlimbs despite severe developmental defects.

This study shows that hox13 paralogs are functionally conserved in limb development and regeneration in newts.

The paper shows that cell cycle arrest is necessary for stem cell differentiation in planarians, as inhibiting Cdh1 disrupts tissue homeostasis and regeneration.

This study shows that Pde4b regulates cellular differentiation during limb regeneration in urodele amphibians by modulating B2FF-induced plasticity in dermal fibroblasts.

The paper develops an ECM-body scaffold from planarians to study stem cell fate, showing it supports neoblast survival in culture.

The paper constructs a comprehensive transcriptome reference for the Iberian ribbed newt, identifying gene modules and evolutionary features, and provides data for future research.
