Stem Cells and Regeneration in the Xenopus Retina

Résumé

The ability to regenerate damaged cells in the retina varies tremendously among species, being restricted for most of them to specific developmental stages. Regarding vertebrates, only the newt was thought to exhibit full regenerative capacity upon retinectomy in the adulthood. The recent discovery that the anuran amphibian Xenopus can regenerate its retina after metamorphosis opened new avenues to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in this process. In this review, we provide an historical overview of regeneration studies in Xenopus. Particular emphasis is given to the cellular sources contributing to retinal replacement, the involvement of tissue interactions and the importance of the injury paradigm. We also describe recent progress and promises in the field brought by the development of 3D tissue culture methods and transgenic Xenopus models.
