On page 433 , Morrison et al. show that the regeneration of newt limbs hinges on the activation of muscle satellite cells—t...

Mitophagy: New Insight into the Cardiovascular Aging  

The newt reprograms mature RPE cells into a unique multipotent state for retinal regeneration

The reprogramming of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells in the adult newt immediately after retinal injury is an area of active research for the study of retinal disorders and regeneration. We demonstrate here that unlike embryonic/larval retinal regeneration, adult newt RPE cells are not directly reprogrammed into retinal stem/progenitor cells; instead, they are programmed into a unique st...

Lizard and newt tail regeneration: a quantitative study.

Almost perfect fits of the Gompertz equation to the growth in length of tail regenerates in the lizard, Lacerta lepida, and the newt, Notophthalmus viridescens, were obtained. Comparison of certain parameters of the equation with published mitotic index data suggests that the Gompertz equation characterizes each system at least from the time that significant mitotic activity is first observed h...

New Insight into the Relation between Adiponectin and Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases. Insulin resistance is defined as a state that needs more insulin to get the biological effects achieved by a lower amount of insulin in the normal state. Several molecules which are secreted through adipocytes have been involved in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adiponectin as a 244 amino acid protein is exclusively expressed...
