Findings (3)
- Artificially induced frog leg regeneration follows a non-developmental path (like a plant) to produce a normal limb.Frog legs regenerated after specific induction did not form a paddle with interdigital apoptosis but grew digits from a central core, reaching correct final form via atypical intermediate states.
- Developing Xenopus tadpoles can attain normal anatomical outcome despite starting with craniofacial organs scrambled or with wrong number of cells.Evidence of morphogenetic problem-solving and anatomical homeostasis across serious perturbations; demonstrates collective intelligence in development.
- Tadpoles achieve normal frog faces despite organ misplacementEmpirical example of regulative development: when craniofacial organs are positioned abnormally, they reposition via non-natural paths until correct frog face is achieved.
