New studies in tissue regeneration[edit]

Current research is studying Percival's Spiny Mouse (Acomys percivali) and Kemp's Spiny Mouse (Acomys kempi) for their tissue regeneration (unusual in mammals) and possible implications for human health.^[1] Not sure what the requirements are for bumping up an article of low-importance, but if we could get some more info on these species it would be nice.WhiskeyedJack (talk) 22:16, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
