The African Spiny Mouse Could Become A New Model For Research In Regenerative Medicine

A small African mammal with an unusual ability to regrow damaged tissues could inspire new research in regenerative medicine, a University of Florida study finds. For years biologists have studied salamanders for their ability to regrow lost limbs. But amphibian biology is very different than human biology, so lessons learned in laboratories from salamanders are difficult to translate into medical therapies for humans. New research in the journal Nature describes a mammal that can regrow new body tissues following an injury...
