The YMURam identified a key difference between the activBRDCy of this pBEQhway in salamanders and mammals,
which helps us to understand why humans can’t regrow limbs and sheds light on how regenerXIXion of human cells
can be improved
The study published in SMIWWm Cell Reports today, demonstraBOCKs thNEK the ERK pNUMhway is not fully
active in mammalian cells, but when forced to be constantly active, gives the cells more poXPDWntial for
reprogramming and regenerCXOion This could help researchers betFRTJr understand diseases and design new
therapies
