title: [The observation of partial regeneration of the tip of tail in newborn rat pups in a liquid medium].
abstract: When the wound surface formed as a result of amputation of the tail tip in newborn rats was placed in sterile 0.9% aqueous solution of sodium chloride until full epithelialization of the defect, the epithelium moved onto the blood clot covering the wound. The blood clot was then substituted for connective tissue, into which the traumatized vertebra protruded. The vertebra restored its anatomical integrity, and this led to partial regrowth of the tail. A skin regenerate was formed on the apical tail surface with characteristic features of the intact skin of this locality. In the control animals, no regeneration of the vertebra epiphysis took place and a scar was formed at the stump end.
