Bioreactor device helps frogs regenerate their legs

Scientists havedesigned a device that can induce partial hindlimb regeneration in adult aquatic African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) by ‘kick-starting’ tissue repair at the amputation site. Their findings introduce a new model for testing ‘electroceuticals,’ or cell-stimulating therapies.
