It is the first time in the world to discover that there is a potential to generate limbs also on the back side of vertebrates. The fact that the limbs grew on the back side of the frog tadpoles can be explained by &#8220;the position information of the cranial axis and back dorsal axis was partially reversed in the tail being regenerated&#8221;.<br \/>\nThe results of this research were published online in December 2017 in the Development Science Journal of Development Biology &#8220;Development, Growth &amp; amp; Differentiation December issue (59 Volume) p. 688-700&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the results of this research, there was a press briefing session as follows.<br \/>\nDate and time: February 2, 2018 30 (Fri) 10: 00 &#8211; 10: 45<br \/>\nPlace: Hiroshima University Higashi Hiroshima Campus Amphibian Research Center 3rd Floor Large Seminar Room<br \/>\nAttendees: Assistant Professor, Hiroshima University Amphibian Research Center Ichiro Tazawa<br \/>\nHiroshima University Amphibious Research Center Professor Yao Yaburo<\/p>\n<p>This news was reported by Chugokushinbun, NHK General TV, Hiroshima TV, TV Shinhiroshima.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/news\/43671\">Press Release form Hiroshima Univ.
