Regeneration of digits and forelimbs in the Kenyan reed frog Hyperolius viridiflavus ferniquei.

abstract：:Features of embryonic development in birds traditionally have been assumed to be shared by sauropsids in general. Herein, we document a pattern of yolk processing and cellularization in the Eastern fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus) that is fundamentally different from that of birds. In the avian pattern, cells of th...
