Usage Information
Abstract
The fingertip is one of the only known complex structures in mammals that can fully regenerate following amputation. This phenomenon can be studied in mice using the amputation of the digit tip, the regenerative success of which has been shown to be reliant on effective bone clearance prior to new bone formation. In this issue of the JCI, Vishlaghi et al. investigated whether local lymphatic vessels are involved in this process. Interestingly, they found that inhibiting lymphangiogenesis resulted in accelerated clearance of damaged tissue and bone, thereby improving subsequent digit regeneration. This study is the first to our knowledge to report lymphatic involvement in digit regeneration and raises questions regarding the underlying mechanisms at play.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
