Description for Morphological and Cellular Aspects of Tail and Limb Regeneration in Lizards
Paperback. This volume deals with the analysis of the cytological processes occurring during tissue regeneration in the tail and limbs of lizards. It concludes stressing the importance of the lizard model of tissue regeneration for medical studies and applications. Series: Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. Num Pages: 124 pages, 20 black & white illustrations, 8 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PSC; PSVW3. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 6. Weight in Grams: 207.
The present review covers a very neglected field in regeneration studies, namely, tissue and organ regeneration in reptiles, especially represented by the lizard model of regeneration. The term “regeneration” is intended here as “the ability of an adult organism to recover damaged or completely lost body parts or organs.” The process of recovery is further termed “restitutive regeneration” when the lost part is reformed and capable of performing the complete or partial physiological activity performed by the original, lost body part. Lizards represent the only amniotes that at the same time show successful organ regeneration, in the tail, and organ ... Read more

Reviews for Morphological and Cellular Aspects of Tail and Limb Regeneration in Lizards
From the book reviews: “This is an exploration into the controversies about amphibian/mammalian limb regeneration. … I recommend this book for developmental biologists, orthopaedic surgeons, students, and fellows with interests in the molecular, cellular, and tissue aspects of regeneration.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, August, 2014)
