Scientists have discovered a protein's molecular signal that apparently plays a key role in allowing newts -- which are amphibians -- to regrow severed limbs, a report in the journal Science said Friday. The finding could provide insights in the field of regenerative medicine relating to mammals and humans, said researchers at the University College London (UCL).
