(The Gist of Science Reporter) New Type of Skin-cell Coordinates Tail Regeneration

New Type of Skin-cell Coordinates Tail Regeneration

• A team of scientists from Cambridge University found a specialised population of new type of skin-cells responsible for tail regeneration in tadpoles.
• These Regeneration Organizing Cells (ROC) provide an opportunity to understand how this ability can be achieved in mammalian tissues also.
• Using single-cell genomics, the scientists of Cambridge University tried to unveil how this regeneration of tail happens in different tadpole cells.
• The study was published in Science.
