Marine Drugs, 2012 Identification of new tetrodotoxin (TTX) analogs from TTX-possessing animals might provide insight into its biosynthesis and metabolism. In this study, four new analogs, 8-epi-5,6,11-trideoxyTTX, 4,9-anhydro-8-epi-5,6,11-trideoxyTTX, 1-hydroxy-8-epi-5,6 ...

Newt cells secrete extracellular vesicles with therapeutic bioactivity in mammalian cardiomyocytes
Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2018 Newts can regenerate amputated limbs and cardiac tissue, unlike mammals which lack broad regenerative capacity. Several signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation, differentiation and survival during newt tissue regeneration have been elucidated ...

Breeding site traits of European newts (Triturus macedonicus, Lissotriton vulgaris, and Mesotriton alpestris: Salamandridae) in the Montenegrin karst region [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2008 We recorded the occurrence of three European newt species - the smooth newt (Lissotriton vulgaris), the eastern alpine crested newt (Triturus macedonicus), and the alpine newt (Mesotriton alpestris) - in the Montenegrin karst, as well as their breeding ...

Evidence for paedomorphosis in Macedonian crested newt (Triturus macedonicus) from Montenegro [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2015 One of the most interesting heterochronic processes in the European newt (genus Triturus) is paedomorphosis, a phenomenon of attaining reproductive maturity while retaining larval features. However, paedomorphosis seems to be rare in the crested

Newt regeneration genes regulate Wingless signaling to restore patterning in Drosophila eye
iScience, 2021 Summary: Newts utilize their unique genes to restore missing parts by strategic regulation of conserved signaling pathways. Lack of genetic tools poses challenges to determine the function of such genes.

Corresponding mitochondrial DNA and niche divergence for crested newt candidate species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Genetic divergence of mitochondrial DNA does not necessarily correspond to reproductive isolation. However, if mitochondrial DNA lineages occupy separate segments of environmental space, this supports the notion of their evolutionary independence.

Confirmation of Tylototriton ziegleri Nishikawa, Matsui & Nguyen, 2013 in China, with discussion on the relationship between T. verrucosus Anderson, 1871 and T. panwaensis Grismer, Wood, Quah, Thura, Espinoza & Murdoch, 2019 (Caudata, Salamandridae) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022 The distribution of the Ziegler’s Crocodile Newt Tylototriton ziegleri Nishikawa, Matsui & Nguyen, 2013 in China has been controversial. This species was originally recorded uncertainly from Guangxi Autonomous Region, China.

Salamander Insights Into Ageing and Rejuvenation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Exhibiting extreme regenerative abilities which extend to complex organs and entire limbs, salamanders have long served as research models for understanding the basis of vertebrate regeneration.
