Brain tail axis!
Delighted to see this work from my lab published today, where we identify a population of ETV-1 positive glutamatergic neurons that are activated in the brain in response to a distant injury.

Brain tail axis!
Beautiful work!
Delighted that our work on positional memory is now published. We asked how axolotl cells 'know' which part of the limb to regenerate after injury.

A joy to work with super team Sarah Plattner, Yuka Sugiura, Francisco Falcon and Elly Tanaka.

Worth reading!
It has been known for a long time that if the starting point of limb regeneration is at the hand level or close to the shoulder, it would take about the same time to regenerate. Puzzling right?

Mechanical control of tissue growth during limb regeneration
The axolotl is a highly regenerative species, capable of restoring full limbs, regardless of the amputation site. However, the regeneration rate is adjusted with the plane of amputation along the prox...

1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬
But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯
Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells.

Universities need to make it crystal clear to parents that cuts to HHS will result in serious tuition hikes just to mitigate the immediate budget shortfalls while they fire employees and scale back research to adapt.
