Abstract
In this chapter, we have touched upon some of the key processes of vertebrate limb regeneration from the formation of the wound epithelium to pattern formation, to provide a picture of the many complex and intricate facets of this system. Our synthesis incorporates recent advances in molecular biology, which has revealed some important factors related to the initiation, induction and patterning in limb regeneration.
