Bacterial lipopolysaccharides can initiate regeneration of the Xenopus tadpole tail
Summary: Tadpoles of the frog Xenopus laevis can regenerate tails except for a short “refractory” period in which they heal rather than regenerate. Rapid and sustained production of ROS by NADPH oxidase (Nox) is critical for regeneration. Here, we show that tail amputation results in rapid, transien...

Activation of NF-κB is also sufficient to rescue refractory tail regeneration.
