Xenopus laevis and tropicalis tadpoles display incredible regenerative capacity of their tail. Amaya and colleagues find that tadpole tail amputation induces the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce cell proliferation and regeneration, through activation of the Wnt/β-catenin and Fgf20 signalling pathways.
