Studies on Regeneration of the Lizard's Tail
Department of Anatomy, Case Western Reseme University, Medical School Cleveland, Ohio 44106
The present paper is concerned mainly with studies from my laboratory on regeneration of the lizard's tail. Over the past five years my students and I have focused our attention on: (1) a careful description of the histology of tail regeneration; (2) the role of neural elements (nerve and ependyma) in the initiation of regeneration; (3) the role of the ependymal epithelium in the guidance of regenerating central fibers: and (4) the development of techniques of tissue culture applicable to this system.
