To form new skin, grow fresh tails and seal up ear-holes without scarring, spiny mice use a blastema-like cell—a mass of cells typical in newts and salamanders.

Skin cells from the tails of mice were turned into neurons able to form connections crucial to brain function, a study said. The Stanford University scientists who performed the feat said it ...
