Denervated adult newt limbs do not regenerate. It is not understood why denervated newt limb stumps fail to initiate regeneration upon reinnervation. To define the regeneration limiting factors, the histology of long-term denervated newt limb stumps were examined and the effects of various kinds of reinjury were tested. In 5 wk denervated limb stumps there were present dedifferentiated cells, differentiated cartilage and densely packed layered cells. The epidermis covering the limb tip resembled skin epidermis rather than wound epidermis. The kinds of reinjury that were successful in restoring the regeneration capabilities to 5 wk denervated limb stumps included reamputation (100%), a single razor incision (60%) and removal of the healed tissues from the distal limb tip (70%). The importance of injury and wound epidermis in initiating regeneration is emphasized.
