Humans and other mammals are limited in their natural abilities to regenerate lost body parts. In contrast, many salamanders are highly regenerative and can spontaneously replace lost limbs even as adults. As salamander limbs are anatomically similar to human limbs, knowing how they regenerate should provide important clues for regenerative medicine. Though interest in understanding the mechanics of this process has never waivered, until recently, researchers have been vexed by seemingly impenetrable logistics of working with these creatures at a molecular level. Chief among the problems has been the very large salamander genomes, and not a single salamander genome has been fully sequenced to date. Recently, the enormous gap in sequence information has been bridged by approaches that leverage mRNA as the starting point. Together with functional experimentation, this data is rapidly enabling researchers to finally uncover the molecular mechanisms underpinning the incredible biological process of limb regeneration.
