Ras-dva small GTPases lost during evolution of amniotes regulate regeneration in anamniotes
Abstract In contrast to amniotes (reptiles, birds and mammals), anamniotes (fishes and amphibians) can effectively regenerate body appendages such as fins, limbs and tails. Why such a useful capability was progressively lost in amniotes remains unknown. As we have hypothesized recently, one of the r...
