How are cells coordinated to regenerate the salamander limb?

The Mexican Salamander can regenerate its entire limb! But how do cells from the remaining limb work together to do this?

In this video abstract, Josh Currie tells us about his recent publication in which he studies this question using live imaging. Read the full publication in Developmental Cell, "Live imaging of digit regeneration reveals spatiotemporal choreography of diverse connective tissue progenitor pools," by following this link: http://www.cell.com/developmental-cel...
