| Abstract: | Summary Axolotl forearms isolated from upper arm tissue either surgically or by local irradiation regenerate excessive structures after vitamin A treatment. This demonstration excludes the possibility of regeneration being altered by enhanced cellular migration and thus indicates that vitamin A respecifies cells close to the site of amputation. |
