Regeneration is the ability to regrow injured or missing body parts. While you might think that regeneration is science fiction or a superpower, it is surprisingly common to many types of animals, including lizards. So why are lizards superhealers? What organs can lizards repair, and what can we learn from lizards to help people? To answer these and other questions, we take a closer look at our scaly neighbors. Our research reveals new ways to look at old problems, such as how to repair skin, the heart and even the brain. Lizards and other species offer important lessons for how to heal, and may one day offer new methods for advancing human health.
