Regeneration of nerves after transection is the result of a process of growth beginning from the cut ends of the proximal stumps left in connection with their cell bodies. Extensive bifurcation of the sprouts provides for an adequate supply of peripheral terminations. The mechanisms at play, however

Early limbs of larval Xenopus laevis can form a regeneration blastema in the absence of nerves. The nerve-independence could be due to the synthesis of neurotrophic-like factors by the limb bud cells. To test this hypothesis, two series of experiments were performed. Series A: the right hindlimbs of
## Abstract We have developed a rapid sensitive test for factors that mimic the trophic effects of nerves by maintaining normal rates of protein synthesis in denervated forelimb blastemata of adult newts __(Notophthalmus viridescens)__. Rates of protein synthesis in secondary blastemata are similar
## Abstract Urodele amphibians (newts and salamanders) have the ability to regenerate amputated limbs throughout their life span. Because fibroblast growth factors (__Fgfs__) play important roles in developing limbs, we initiated studies to investigate these growth factors in regenerating limbs. Pa
## Abstract The gelatin solution crosslinked by genipin (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% w/w) was studied as a nerve growth factor (NGF) carrier (GGp0, GGp0.1, GGp0.5, GGp1.0, and GGp1.5) in a polycaprolactone conduit in largeβgap nerve regeneration. The GGp0 and GGp0.1 displayed the highest activity of
