Prof Amaya will focus on the genetics of wound healing and regeneration in frog embryos, which can heal without scars within hours, a feat possible for human embryos until the age of about six months. Adult frogs retain the capacity and salamanders can even grow new tails and limbs when severed.

Hope for human limb regeneration was raised last year when a 69-year-old man grew back half an inch of his finger using a extracellular matrix powder made from cells scraped from a pig’s bladder. The powder was given to him by his brother, Dr. Stephen Badylak, who studies regeneration at the University of Pittsburgh.

Researchers have identified the electrical switch that turns on a tadpole's regeneration system so it can grow a new tail or leg. Someday, a detailed understanding of this phenomena could possibly lead to a way to stimulate human tissue regeneration.
