Effects of delayed amputation on denervated forelimbs of adult newt.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Left forelimbs of adult newts were repeatedly denervated prior to and following amputation. Limb amputations were performed at 7-, 14-, 21-, 27-and 45-day intervals after the initial denervation. Regeneration was found in the sham-denervated and control animals but did not occur in any of the experimental cases; instead cicatrix formation and dermal wound healing ensued. Soft-tissue dedifferentiation was evident, however. We conclude from these results that forelimb regeneration in the adult newt is completely nerve dependent (for growth).

Nerve interactions and regenerative processes occurring in newt limbs fused end-to-end.
Peripheral nerve interactions and regenerative phenomena were studied in newt forelimbs fused end to end. After simple fusion, one or two spikelike structures regenerated at the plane of fusion in 88% of the cases. When one of the limbs was denervated at the time of fusion, no regeneration occurred from the plane of fusion. If the limbs were fused and one was amputated at the shoulder more than...
متن کاملEffects of radius--ulna removal on forelimb regeneration in Xenopus laevis froglets.
Regeneration of boneless amputated forearms of adult newts was found to progress at a rate and to a degree comparable to amputated control limbs in which stump bones were not removed. In contrast, regeneration of boneless amputated Xenopus froglet forearms was significantly delayed and did not occur until two to three weeks following amputation. This is in comparison with the initiation of dist...
متن کاملDorsal root ganglia grafts stimulate regeneration of denervated urodele forelimbs: timing of graft implantation with respect to denervation.
Amphibian forelimb regeneration is a nerve-dependent process; nerves presumably release one or more neurotrophic factors that stimulate blastema cell division. To date several candidate molecules/factors have been shown to stimulate macromolecular synthesis and/or mitosis but sustained cell cycle activity and blastema development have not been achieved. Because dorsal root ganglia (DRG) implant...
متن کاملMitosis-stimulating activity of the pituitary growth hormone upon amphibian tissues as modified under the influences of thiourea treatment and denervation.
That certain hormones as well as neural agencies exert considerable effects upon the mitotic level of normal and regenerating tissues of Amphibia has been claimed from time to time. Denervation was stated to cause some measure of decrease in the mitotic activity of the regenerating tissues of adult newt(Singer and Craven, 1948). The mitotic responsiveness of epidermis of larval Amphibia to impl...
متن کاملThe response of denervated axolotl arms to delayed amputation.
Forearms of juvenile axolotls can be kept denervated for up to 4 weeks by deflecting brachial nerves to the flank. A more orthodox second denervation prolongs this state up to a total of six weeks. The denervated arms are unable to regenerate for the whole period, but eventually become reinnervated and then regenerate normally. These results and analogous experiments on adult newts prompt a par...
