FGF2 triggers iris-derived lens regeneration in newt eye.
TL;DR: It is shown that among various growth factors injected in an intact eye, a single injection of FGF2 specifically caused morphological changes of the iris characteristic of lens regeneration, induced expression of transcription factor genes Pax6, Sox2 and MafB, as well as endogenous Fgf2 in both dorsal and ventral halves, and provoked second lens development only from the dorsal iris.

Generation of transgenic newt Cynops pyrrhogaster for regeneration study.
TL;DR: The newt transgenesis technique described here is likely to be of wide use in monitoring and manipulating gene expression in the study of molecular mechanisms underlying tissue regeneration.

Loss of cell‐extracellular matrix interaction triggers retinal regeneration accompanied by Rax and Pax6 Activation
TL;DR: It is indicated that the temporal changes in cell‐cell and cell‐extracellular matrix interactions regulate transdifferentiation in the adult newt and Xenopus laevis when it is surgically removed.

Requirement for betaB1-crystallin promoter of Xenopus laevis in embryonic lens development and lens regeneration.
TL;DR: Activity of the βB1‐crystallin promoter during lens regeneration from cornea was examined using transgenic tadpoles and found to have the same dependence on promoter regions as in embryonic lens development, indicating that gene regulation is largely shared by the two lens‐generating processes.

TL;DR: The transgenic lines carrying the promoter/enhancer activity recapitulated the endogenous gene expression during embryogenesis and should represent valuable tools for elucidating the formation, development and resorption of various organs, especially the gill.
