We isolated part of a newt Notch homologue, N-Notch, from regenerating newt retina. The spatio-temporal pattern of N-Notch expression was studied by in situ hybridization at different stages of newt r...
To investigate the function of Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) during spermatogenesis, cDNA for newt WT1 homolog was cloned and the expression of WT1 in newt testes was examined. The cDNA is 2089 bp in length an...
An analogue of tetrodotoxin (TTX), 11-oxoTTX, was semi-purified from the red-spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens, and identified by ESI-MS and 1H NMR spectra. The levels of TTX, 11-oxoTTX and 6-ep...
Red-spotted newts are capable of regenerating various structures and organs through the process of epimorphic regeneration. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and their ligands are important for normal ...
Urodele amphibians are the only vertebrates that can regenerate their limbs throughout their life. The critical feature of limb regeneration is the formation of a blastema, a process that requires an ...
