1/ Can #Axolotls teach us new things about #HeartRegeneration? A great collaboration between Elly Tanaka and Miguel Torres labs. We’re happy to share our new work in which we ask how axolotls regenerate their hearts and could they help mammals with that? doi.org/10.64898/202...

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. www.nature.com/articles/s41... A joy to work with super team Sarah Plattner, Yuka Sugiura, Francisco Falcon and Elly Tanaka. 🧵1/14

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. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A short thread 🧵👇

Very happy to have contributed to this great work! “Hot” and “cold”fibrosis after heart attacks could be affected by targeting myofibroblast’s Timp1. Congratulations @shovalmiyara.bsky.social and @eldadtzahor.bsky.social

As you might guess I spend a lot of time thinking about tail regeneration. So I figured we might as well put this in a review article. Glad to see this out before the end of the year and thankful for the input from @murawalalab.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The evolutionary origin and mechanism of chordate tail regeneration. An ancient tale?

Chordate tail regeneration represents the remarkable ability of some chordates to partially or completely regenerate a significant portion of their pr…

Now that the initial transition wave passed, I would be happy to connect with cardiac regeneration folks on here. I study how axolotls regenerate their hearts and I am interested in #devbio #regenbio

Excited to share our study on spatio-temporal reconstruction of cardiac scar formation led by Andy Chan. We combine scRNA-seq with spatial transcriptomics to resolve the fibrotic niche and the niche of dedifferentiating cardiomyocytes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Ok, it’s nice and all here but where are the posts with cute cat gifs?
