Oxygen Sensing as a Component of Differences in Regenerative Capacity Between Species (opens in new tab)

One of the major projects within the study of comparative biology is the attempt to understand why adult individuals of some species can fully regenerate lost tissues following injury, while mammals such as our own species cannot. A variety of modest inroads into identifying potentially important differences in cellular biochemistry and activity have been made, such as work focused on senescent cells and macrophages, but it remains an unsolved challenge. Researchers here present more data to ...
