This study shows that injury size affects glucose allocation during tail regeneration in axolotls, with larger injuries leading to increased local and systemic glucose uptake.

The paper shows quiescent neural stem cells temporarily express neuronal genes to coordinate reactivation during CNS development.

The paper investigates how Shh+ floor plate cells contribute to spinal cord regeneration in axolotls by tracking their fate and analyzing gene expression dynamics.

The paper identifies a molecular mechanism for positional memory in limb regeneration, showing that posterior identity is encoded by Hand2 and can be reprogrammed through Shh signaling.

The paper uses modeling and experimental data to show that a signal recruits ependymal cells within a specific spatiotemporal window during axolotl spinal cord regeneration.
