The orange dashed line indicates amputation plane. The black dashed lines delineate gross morphological outcomes for the two experimental groups. (B–E) Expression of progesterone receptor (PR) on frog limbs revealed by fluorescent ligand binding assays and hormone displacement studies. (B) Low-magnification image of a cross-section of intact frog hindlimb after incubation with the fluorescent ligand for PR (progesterone 3-(O-carboxymethyl) oxime:BSA-fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugate [PFITC]) and counterstained with DAPI. In the center of the bone is the marrow containing PR+ mesenchymal cells (white arrowheads). (C) High-magnification image through the bone marrow of an intact frog hindlimb showing nuclear colocation for PFITC and DAPI labeling (white arrowheads). (D) Parallel section to (B) after PFITC co-incubation with a saturating concentration of the physiological agonist progesterone. No positive cells were detected. (E) Cross-section of frog hindlimb after PFITC co-incubation with an unspecific hormone, hydrocortisone. Since no competitive binding occurs, the fluorescent ligand reaction showed a similar positive pattern to the single PFITC incubation, as detected when compared to (B). Scale bar, 100 mm. (F–H) H&E staining at 0.5 months post-amputation (mpa), showing the overall organization of the soft tissue after no subsequent treatment (Ctrl group, F) and after treatment with the silk-hydrogel device loaded with progesterone (Prog-device group, G). Two weeks after amputation, differences in the fibroblastema region (asterisk) were present between the two groups—mostly collagen accumulation in untreated animals—and frequent areas of irregular cells (asterisk) in Prog-device treated animals. In (H), a scheme with the main histological elements, as seen on sections along the longitudinal axis, is presented. (I–K) Immune infiltration (after XL2 immunofluorescence) in the early fibroblastema of Ctrl (I) and Prog-device (J) animals. The number of leukocytes was significantly lower (K) in the apical region (or distal from the amputation plane, blue dashed line) of the blastema in the treated animals. (L–N) The number of H3P-expressing proliferative cells (white arrows) normalized to the total number of cells (DAPI labeled, blue) between Ctrl (L) and Prog-device (M) animals at late-blastema stage (3 mpa) showed no significant differences (N). (O–Q) The nerve patterning, as detected after tubulin (Tub) immunofluorescence on longitudinal sections, was less organized in Ctrl (O) group than after Progdevice treatment (P). The former was characterized by the presence of specialized groups or bundles of nerve fibers, with higher area per positive unit (Q). (I, J, L, M, O, and P) Scale bars, 100 mm. (I and J) Amputation plane is right, medial is up. (L and M) Amputation plane is up, medial is left. (O and P) Amputation plane is left, lateral is up.

Instead of the Typical Spikes Formed in the Absence of Treatment, Combined ProgDevice Treated Animals Regenerate Complex Patterned Paddle-like Structures (A–D) Anatomical outcome (left) and X-ray images (right) of regenerates formed in adult Xenopus hindlimb amputation after no treatment (Ctrl, A) and after 24-hr combined treatment of drug-loaded device (Progdevice, B–D). (A) Red arrow indicates the hypomorphic cartilaginous structure, spike, lacking specialized tissues. (B–D) Green arrows on soft tissue images (left panels) indicate the dense and sprouted vascularization, easily visualized due to unpigmented epithelium covering the regenerates of treated PD7 (B), PD5 (C), and PD1 (D) animals.

Individual identification of each animal is indicated in white (Ctrl: untreated control, PD: Progdevice treated, followed by the individual number). (E) Shape profiles, as obtained after MorphoJ software measurements (see Figure S2B for details), for untreated (red) and Prog-device treated animals (green). Each circle indicates the average position for each landmark, after computations for n = 3 and n = 7 animals in Ctrl and Prog-device groups, respectively. Quantification and statistical analysis of these shape states showed significant differences in the Mahalanobis distance (p < 0.05) for the profile of the shape of the regenerate.

The overall area occupied by Tub+ fibers is significantly greater in treated tips (turquoise double-headed arrow in B, compared to magenta double-headed arrow in A). Similarly, the density and extension of the blood vessels for Prog-device treated animals (D, turquoise arrows) is higher when compared to untreated animals (C, magenta arrows). gl, SMA+ epidermal glands were not included in the analysis. Scale bars, 250 mm. The cartilage core of the 9.5-mpa regenerates is indicated in (A). For a schematic representation of the plane cut, see Figure S5A. (E and F) Quantitative results of number of positive units per square millimeter and area per unit for Tub (E) and SMA (F) immunofluorescence in Ctrl (red) and Prog-device groups (green). Values are represented with scatterplots, in which each dot represents one histological section, and each dot style represents one animal (with at least three histological sections). Statistical analysis was performed on the pooled individual sections. Horizontal line indicates mean. p values after Mann-Whitney test (unequal variances) or t test (equal variances; only for E, left) are indicated as **p < 0.01. (G–N) High-magnification images revealed that while in untreated animals, the typical nerve patterning is composed of individual and unpatterned nerve fibers (magenta arrows in G), Tub+ axons in Prog-device animals show a tendency to group organization, forming bundles (turquoise line-encircled areas in H), similar to the nerve organization in intact or uncut limbs (turquoise lineencircled areas in I and J). Both the number and morphology and area of the SMA+ vessels for Prog-device tips were clearly closer to the intact limb (turquoise arrow and asterisks in L, M, and N) than to the Ctrl untreated limbs (small vessels indicated by magenta arrows in K). See Table S4 for quantitative data. Scale bars, 100 mm.

	Supplementary Fig. S2. Assessment of the regenerated soft tissue, Related to STAR Methods and Figure 2. A. Diagram of a prototypical 2-mpa regenerate showing the biological meaningful elements and morphometric parameters used to evaluate the limb outcome over time: percentage of width change (W2 respect to W1; WID), percentage of unpigmented area (respect to the total regenerated area; UNA), and maximal length of the regenerate (LEN). WID: Before amputation, the limb has a constant width. This situation is not maintained after amputation and tissues start to narrow while outgrowth is progressing. A lower percentage of width change is, hence, an indicative of regenerative ability, as regenerate is closer to the original morphology, previous amputation. We evaluate the decrease in width experienced by the limb as consequence of the amputation by means of the percentage of change between two width values, before (W1, width at amputation plane, orange-dashed line) and after (W2, width at the base of the regenerate, bluedashed line) amputation, with the formula WID = (W2-W1)*100/W1. UNA: This variable quantifies the differences in pigmentation pattern of the regenerate, by means of the percentage of total regenerated area that is covered by unpigmented epidermis. To this, firstly, we calculated the total area regenerated (from the amputation plane to the tip of regenerate; green and pink surfaces in diagram, respectively). Secondly, a straight line indicating the demarcation of the totally unpigmented portion from the rest of the limb was drawn. Then, the area of the regenerate under that line (unpigmented area) was divided by the total area, with the formula UNA = pigmented area/ (pigmented+ unpigmented area)*100. LEN: We evaluate the maximal length of the regenerate by calculating the distance from the amputation plane to the plane set by the tip of the regenerate (distance between the two orange-dashed lines). To avoid size noise, this value was normalized to the total animal length (or distance from snout to vent, TOT LEN). This morphometric analysis 4 was performed on regenerates belonging each experimental group (Control and Prog-device, respectively) at five selected times for a 9.5-month period: 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 9.5 months post amputation (mpa). Representative images and graphs are indicated in Fig. 2A, B. B. Diagram of a prototypical 7.5-mpa regenerate including the positions of the twelve landmarks used for the geometric morphometrics analysis. To describe and quantify the changes in shape of the regenerate between Control and Prog-device groups, we employed MorphoJ software (Klingenberg, 2011), as extensively detailed in (Mondia et al., 2011). MorphoJ performs a geometric morphometric analysis based on landmarks or points used to define the profile of a shape. For our analysis, twelve landmarks defined each regenerate profile: the first six landmarks were biologically meaningful positions: 1 and 2 define the amputation plane, 3 and 4 for the base of the regenerate, 5 and 6 define the points at the tip of the regenerate. The other six points were semi-landmarks, chosen by successively finding the midpoints between the previous positions, as indicated by the numbers in the diagram. Landmarks were placed on digital images using ImageJ. MorphoJ is freely available from http://www.flywings.org.uk/MorphoJ_page.htm. A reference axis, passing through the middle point of a straight line linking landmarks 1 and 2, was placed on each profile. This axis was used to evaluate the curvature at the tip of the regenerate. This parameter was included as criterion for the regeneration Index. Curvature was considered positive when the four most distal landmarks (9, 12, 5 and 6) were situated on the same lateral plane (right or left) respect to the middle axis. In this example diagram, 9 and 5 are on left plane (blue square), as 12 and 6 are on the right one (orange square). The tip morphology of the illustrative diagram would be considered negative for the variable curvature.
	Supplementary Fig. S3. Assessment of the bone growth and its reintegration with the remaining tissues, Related to STAR Methods and Figure 2C. A. Diagram of a prototypical 2-mpa regenerate, under X-ray image, showing the biological meaningful elements and morphometric parameters used to evaluate the skeletal outcome over time: maximal length of bone from the amputation plane (BLEN; Table 1) and maximal area occupied by new bone growth (mostly non-ossified bone or regenerated cartilage, BAREA; Table 1). Responsive animals generated the same bone growth pattern as displayed in the graphic. The skeletal regrowth origin began above the plane of amputation, indicating the occurrence of a secondary or spontaneous amputation (as described in mice by Muneoka’s group (Fernando et al., 2011)). The secondary amputation acts as a catalyst for bone regeneration as it creates more bone resorption and degradation. The newly formed bone typically widened at its distal end and deviated from the midline of the intact tibiofibula. The morphometric analysis was performed on regenerates belonging each experimental group (Control and Prog-device, respectively) at five selected times for a 9.5-month period: 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 9.5 months post amputation (mpa). Representative images and graphs are indicated in Fig. 3 and Supplementary Fig. S4. B. Diagram of a prototypical 7.5-mpa regenerate, under X-ray image, including the axis used to evaluate the reintegration of the regenerated bone and remaining tissues during limb regeneration. Left, Reintegration of the regenerated new bone and the remaining old bone. We evaluated the deviation angle (α) formed under the intersection between the middle line of the new bone growth and the middle line of the remaining bone (longitudinal axis of the tibiofibula). Right, The geometric intersection between the middle line of the intact tibiofibula bone and the plane set by the base of the regenerate was taken for evaluating the old-bone displacement (d) over the course of the 6 regeneration, from the longitudinal axis to the medial edge of the soft tissue. This morphometric analysis was performed on regenerates belonging each experimental group (Control and Prog-device, respectively). Representative images and graphs are indicated in Fig. 2C-2E.
	Supplementary Fig. S4. Bone patterning as seen under X-ray images over a 9.5-month regenerative period, Related to Figure 2. A. The morphometric analysis was performed on regenerates belonging each experimental group, Control (top) and Prog-device (bottom), at five selected times for a 9.5-month period: 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 9.5 months post amputation (mpa). The lateral brown arrows indicate amputation plane. As soon as 2.5 mpa, new bone growth above the amputation plane (red asterisk) is detected in treated animals, suggesting that the necessary catalyst for bone regeneration (as it creates more bone resorption and degradation) is enhanced by treatment. B, C. Overall, treated animals show a tendency for bigger area (B) and longer (C) new bone growth. As might be expected with the variability of genetic background, individual animals are clearly observed to be strong treatment ‘Responders’, while other treated animals behaved as ‘Non-responders’, similar to individuals in Control group. See Supplementary Fig. S2 for details and meaning of the 8 measurements. Scale bar = 0.5 cm. Values are represented with scatter plots, where each dot represents one animal.

Top, Drawing represent a short-term regenerate, indicating plane for tissue harvesting (orangedashed line indicates the original amputation site) and longitudinal sectioning, following the ventral-to-dorsal axis. Bottom, The most distal portion of the 9.5-mpa regenerates (or tips) were recut approximately 2 cm below the original amputation plane (dashed-blue line indicates plane for recutting and orange-dashed line indicates the original amputation plane). Tips were sectioned along the transversal plane, obtaining cross sections (dashed-blue line) for histological analysis. B. Tips of 9.5-mpa regenerates were morphologically compared to the uncut or intact limb. Two different levels of the uncut limb were separately cross-sectioned, immunostained and analyzed: proximal or distal respect to the regular level for the amputation plane (orange-dashed line).
