This study optimizes HCR-FISH for spatial transcript detection in Pleurodeles waltl eyes, enabling validation of gene expression patterns in regenerative tissues.

This study shows that macrophages are essential for lens regeneration in newts by reducing fibrosis, modulating inflammation, and balancing cell proliferation and apoptosis.

The paper creates a single-cell multiomic atlas of lens development, identifying regulatory mechanisms and cataract-linked networks through snRNA-seq, snATAC-seq, and CUT&RUN-seq.

This study identifies FGF2-driven gene expression changes in embryonic chicken RPE reprogramming, highlighting MAPK signaling and EMT processes.

This study identifies DNA demethylation as a key driver of chick retina regeneration through RPE reprogramming, with TET3 playing a critical role in this process.
