## Abstract Five distinguishable stages of tail regeneration in the adult newt have been established. The stages are based on external morphological changes and internal histological characteristics rather than chronological age of the regenerate.

## Abstract Cyclophosphamide (cytoxan), a clinical immunosuppressant, produced a marked, persistent leukopenia (> 40% reduction) in adult newts in contrast to a transient, milder leukopenia accompanying amputations without cytoxan treatments. In addition, cytoxan suppressed the formation of regener
## Abstract Subsequent to excision and explantation of the limb blastema into culture medium, there is an abrupt reduction in mitotic index lasting several hours. Coincident with the disappearance of mitosis, abnormal mitotic figures (AMFs), lacking the condensed chromosomal nature of normal figure
## Abstract Evidence is presented that regenerating portions of newt limbs preferentially accumulate ^3^Hβlabelled exogeneous cortisol and corticosterone. The ability of such regions to accumulate glucocorticoids is maximal about seven days after amputation and is abolished by interrupting the spin
## Abstract Radioimmunoassay (RIA) procedures were used to determine whether or not insulin is present in the adult newt. The results show that measurable amounts of the hormone are present in samples ofpooled, fresh serum taken by cardiac puncture methods. We also found that there are no significa
