Scientists Discover Amazing Abilities in Sea Spiders

However, 16 juveniles survived their amputations, and 14 were able to fully regrow their lost body parts, although some individuals that had all four rear legs removed only regrew two replacement legs.

The adults' inability to regrow lost body parts is likely why the juveniles' regenerative skills have gone unnoticed until now, researchers noted in the paper. The team now wants to discover the exact mechanism that triggers the regeneration in sea spiders and compare it with other arthropods' regenerative abilities.
