    New York, NY: Sally, an axolotl salamander is begininng to form a blastema, a cluster of stem cells, on her left arm. Salamanders are one of the few species that can regrow their limbs.Scientists are trying to unlock the genetic rules that govern salamander limb regeneration in the hopes of rewriting human genetic code to tip the balance away from scar tissue formation and in favor of regeneration.
