Wnt signaling restores evolutionary loss of regenerative potential in Hydra
The regenerative potential of animals varies widely, even among closely-related species. In a comparative study of regeneration across the Hydra genus, we found that while most species exhibit robust ...

Amid chaos, some joy. Proud to share this study from @regen-bio-cie.bsky.social (Sergio Campos) surveying regeneration in diverse Hydra species, showing that Hydra oligactis lost foot regeneration ability, which can be rescued by a Wnt signaling pulse during injury. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It seems that only the science community is noticing that NIH and NSF budgets are cut 40% and 55% in the budget bill, respectively. If you live in Maine, West Va, Pennsylvania, Alabama, or Louisiana, CALL YOUR SENATOR as they could make a difference. See below.

Almost all Nobel Prizes are awarded for work that is exploratory, or absolutely basic science with no obvious commercial or medical benefit.
You cannot predict where advancements come from, so you have to invest in science and scientists.
Targeted (corporate) science investment will never do this.

Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪
