Abstract

Digit tip regeneration rebuilds amputated structures in some mammals if the nail organ is preserved. In recently published Cell Reports papers, Castilla-Ibeas et al., Johnson et al., and Mahmud et al. define the patterning function and regenerative capacity of the dorsal nail mesenchyme in this process.
