• Stem cells and regeneration signals from cells help regrow amputated digits in mice

  
  — Authority:
  Scientists have long known that children and some adults can regrow the tips of their fingers and toes after amputation. But digits can’t regenerate if more than the nail region is amputated. The digit bones can regenerate only if the amputated stump still has some nail stem cells, the researchers found. But the ...
