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.

Skin Wound Healing of the Adult Newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster: A Unique Re-Epithelialization and Scarless Model

Biomedicines, 2021
In surgical and cosmetic studies, scarless regeneration is an ideal method to heal skin wounds. To study the technologies that enable scarless skin wound healing in medicine, animal models are useful.

Climate change produces winners and losers: Differential responses of amphibians in mountain forests of the Near East

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018
Climate change is now considered as a serious threat to the viability of many species and consequently as one of the major drivers of global biodiversity loss.

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.

Genetic and morphological data demonstrate hybridization and backcrossing in a pair of salamanders at the far end of the speciation continuum

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Deeply diverged yet hybridizing species provide a system to investigate the final stages of the speciation process. We study a hybridizing pair of salamander species—the morphologically and genetically drastically different newts Triturus cristatus and T.

First observation of facultative paedomorphosis in the Danube crested newt (Triturus dobrogicus Kiritzescu, 1903) and the occurrence of facultative paedomorphosis in two newt species from soda pans of the Danube-Tisza Interfluve (Kiskunság National Park, Hungary) [PDF]

, 2013
The first observation of paedomorphosis in Triturus dobrogicus and the occurrence of facultative paedomorphosis in two newt species (T.dobrogicus and Lissotriton vulgaris) from soda pans of the Danube- Tisza Interfluve, Hungary are reported in this ...

Conformation‐Selective Binding Domains of Intramolecular Chemically Induced Protein Dimerisation Systems

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Intramolecular chemically induced dimerisation transforms FK506‐ and cyclosporine A‐responsive protein pairs into high‐affinity pseudo‐allosteric switches. Holo‐selective binders isolated by mRNA display convert these switches into gain‐of‐signal biosensors and ultrasensitive ELISAs, enabling direct quantification of both immunosuppressants in ...

Evaluation of translocation as a tool for mitigating development threats to great crested newts (Triturus cristatus) in England, 1990-2001 [PDF]

, 2004
Great crested newts (Triturus cristatus) are protected under European and UK legislation, but are frequently the subject of conflict between development and conservation in England.

Implications of a Multi-Step Trigger of Retinal Regeneration in the Adult Newt

Biomedicines, 2017
The newt is an amazing four-limbed vertebrate that can regenerate various body parts including the retina. In this animal, when the neural retina (NR) is removed from the eye by surgery (retinectomy), both the NR and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE ...
