Axolotls and flatworms regenerate lost body parts through body-wide coordination, not local repair. Scientists analysed that this theory of regeneration could reshape regenerative medicine.

Axolotl cells can remember where they belong in the body, and under the right conditions, this positional memory can be rewritten. Imagine losing an arm in an accident, only to grow it back exactly as ...

Living in a murky lake around Mexico City, surrounded by aggressive and cannibalistic neighbors, the axolotl lives at constant risk of losing a limb to a neighbor's nibble. Fortunately, lost limbs ...

Axolotl limbs regenerate functional body parts in just weeks, relying on cells that retain positional memory. A study led by Elly Tanaka’s team at IMBA reveals that the Hand2 gene marks the posterior ...
