Abstract
The effect of infusions of soluble newt brain extracts on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis in the denervated, regenerating newt blastema has been studied. When moderate early to early regenerates are denervated for 48 hours, DNA synthesis normally drops to about 40% of that found in contralateral, innervated blastemas. Infusion of brain extract halfway through the denervation period (at 24 hours) approximately doubles the rate of DNA synthesis in denervated regenerates.

## Abstract The regenerating and stump tissues of amputated forelimbs of the adult newt, __Diemictylus viridescens__, were analyzed for collagen content and synthesis. Collagen soluble and insoluble in 0.45 M NaCl was assayed by (1) spectrophotometric determination of hydroxyproline, (2) radiotrace
## Abstract Regenerating and nonβregenerating limb tissues from the adult newt, __Diemictylus viridescens__, were assayed for isocitrate lyase activity. The enzyme assays were performed by micromodifications of existing procedures. In general, the whole homogenate, or a soluble fraction of the homo
## Abstract A procedure is described for the mechanical dissociation and culturing of early stage newt regenerate blastema cells. The specified growth medium is adjusted to suitable osmolarity and consists of Leibovitz Lβ15, water, fetal calf serum, and insulin. This provides a suitable environment
## Abstract The forelimb of the newt, __Triturus (Notophthalamus) viridescens__, was bilaterally amputated and the animals subjected to different photoperiods during the period of regeneration, namely (1) continuous light, (2) 15 hours of light/day and (3) total darkness. Animals exposed to continu
