This study shows that pancreatic injury in axolotl leads to β-cell regeneration without blastema formation, through organ-wide proliferation that recovers β-cell mass.

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.
