## Abstract Three amputation surfaces were formed on the lower arm of a single newt. Growth occurred on all combinations of these surfaces. The proximal surface (the only single surface to form regenerates) produced more regenerates (76% of the cases) than the two more distal surfaces. Blocking the

The regenerative ability of limb stumps bearing partial circumferences of flank skin was tested in the newt, Notophthalmus viridescens. Skin dorsal to the lateral line of the flank was removed and used to replace 1/4, 112, or 314 of the skin of the upper forelimb. Grafts were placed at anterior, pos
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 Urodele amphibians regenerate their limbs after amputation. Normally, only those parts of the limb distal to the plane of amputation are regenerated. However, retinoids are capable of inducing proximodistal (PD) duplication such that structures already present proximal to the plane of a
## Abstract Explants of frog tadpole spinal cord cocultured with blastemas of regenerating hindlimbs provide in vitro evidence that the mesenchymelike cells of the blastema may serve to elicit nerve fiber growth and sprouting into the limb stump. The present study indicates that (1) blastemal mesen
