The researchers said the pathway they identified could be applied to different tissue types and play a significant role in advancing regeneration in vertebrates.
The team found that a mouse’s failure to regenerate stemmed from an inability to produce sufficient retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A that regulates what cell type emerges during a cell’s development and…Read More
