A fair number of researchers are investigating the molecular biology of species capable of proficient regeneration without scarring, such as salamanders and zebrafish. It is suspected that mammals retain much of the necessary biology to accomplish feats of regeneration such as regrowing limbs, mechanisms that are in some way blocked in adults, because this sort of regeneration can occur during embryonic development. Researchers here discuss a novel line of research based on the forces exerted on cells due to animal size, and how cells react …
