Urodele amphibians are nearly the only adult vertebrates able to regenerate their missing or amputated tail. An interesting aspect of this biological model lies in the ability of regenerates to differentiate the spinal cord (SC), the vertebral cartilage, and muscles. The main questions addressed in

The major direct cutaneous vessels identified in the cat include the omocervical, thoracodorsal, deep circumflex iliac, and caudal superficial epigastric arteries. Axial pattern skin flaps based on the thoracodorsal and caudal superficial epigastric arteries have been developed in cats. Rotation of
Current phylogenies show that paired fins and limbs are unique to jawed vertebrates and their immediate ancestry. Such fins evolved first as a single pair extending from an anterior location, and later stabilized as two pairs at pectoral and pelvic levels. Fin number, identity, and position are ther
## Abstract The avian body plan has undergone many modifications, most associated with adaptation to flight and bipedal walking. Some of these modifications may be owing to avianβspecific changes in the embryonic Hox expression code. Here, we have examined Hox expression in alligator, the closest l
Adult urodele amphibians such as Pleurodeles waltl are able to regenerate their amputated limbs or tail. The mechanisms implicated in growth control and formation of the blastema are unknown but it has been proposed that regeneration in newts may proceed through reactivation of genes involved in emb
