<< The newt, a group of urodele amphibians, has outstanding ability to repeatedly regenerate various body parts >>
<< In this animal, when the limb is amputated, a cell mass named the blastema appears on the stump and eventually gives rise to a new functional limb >>
AA << identified an orphan gene Newtic1, whose transcripts significantly increased in the blastema. Newtic1 was expressed in a subset of erythrocytes that formed a novel clump (EryC) >>
<< When the limb was amputated, EryCs were newly generated in the stump and accumulated into a distal portion of the growing blastema. >>
