This study shows that Snai1 is not essential for somitogenesis, as its absence in the presomitic mesoderm does not disrupt segmentation clock activity or somite formation.

The paper shows that tissue composition at the amputation plane influences osteoclast-mediated skeletal resorption and regenerative strategies in axolotl limb regeneration.

The paper investigates the evolution of the Kazald gene family in vertebrates, identifying its origin and differential roles across species.

This study shows axolotl mandible regeneration involves gap closure and shares a regenerative program with limb regeneration, occurring more slowly.

The paper uses a multi-species single-cell atlas to resolve whether axolotls regenerate limbs by re-forming AER cells, finding they do not fully re-form AER but use a novel mesoderm-based program.
