Oxygen sensing helps explain why amphibians regenerate limbs but mammals cannot
A study led by Can Aztekin reveals that oxygen sensing plays a critical role in limb regeneration differences between amphibians and mammals. Amphibian larvae regenerate limbs efficiently in low-oxygen environments, while mammalian tissues stall regeneration due to strong oxygen responses that suppress regenerative programs. The research suggests that adjusting oxygen-sensing pathways could potentially enhance regenerative capabilities in mammals.
