Spiny mouse (Acomys): an emerging research organism for regenerative medicine with applications beyond the skin

Abstract The spiny mouse (Acomys species) has emerged as an exciting research organism due to its remarkable ability to undergo scarless regeneration of skin wounds and ear punches. Excitingly, Acomys species demonstrate scar-free healing in a wide-range of tissues beyond the skin. In this perspecti...
