The keratin cytoskeleton of the wound epidermis of lizard limb (which does not regenerate) and tail (which regenerates) hase been studied by qualitative ultrastructural, immunocytochemical, and immunoblotting methods. The process of re-epithelialization is much shorter in the tail than in the limb.
Removal of the pars distalis several days before the amputation of the tail in Anolis carolinensis delays blastema formation and virtually abolishes tail regeneration. Hypophysectomy on, or several days after, tail amputation does not delay blastema formation but tail growth is largely abolished. If
## 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.
