New studies in tissue regeneration

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) 22:15, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
