A conserved pituitary response to tissue loss controls regeneration across vertebrates

Regenerating complex tissues requires coordination between local cellular responses and body-wide systemic signals. As a central endocrine regulator, the pituitary is well positioned to coordinate this process. Here, we identify the pituitary as an injury-responsive regulator of axolotl limb and tilapia fin regeneration. Limb loss triggered sustained transcriptional responses in the axolotl…
