“…The current difficulties in the study of non‐canonical organ regeneration in salamanders are mainly due to: (1) The small number of researchers; (2) The lack of technical means for the study; and (3) The lack of background and resources for the study. Recent progress in embryo, tissue and cell transplantation [58, 64–69], virus‐mediated cell labeling [70, 71], transgenic [72–79], tissue clearing [80–83] and live imaging [77, 83–86], gene editing [87–90], de novo sequencing [88, 91–97], single‐cell [7, 98–105] and spatiotemporal [7, 103–107] multi‐omics technologies (Figure 2) have dramatically expanded knowledge about embryonic and tissue development, and the evolution of animal behavior and have advanced human understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of cells and genes at the genetic, transcriptional, and protein levels during the regeneration of canonical organs in salamanders, and their regulation of regeneration. Currently, models of pneumonectomy, hepatectomy, nephrectomy, and renal drug injury have been successfully constructed in salamanders, based on which we have discovered the regenerative potential of salamander alveolar epithelial cells, hepatocytes, and other cells and structures such as the alveoli, glomeruli, and renal tubules.…”
