The paper uses tBid-mediated ablation to show connective tissue cells are essential for positional identity and segmental patterning during axolotl limb regeneration.

This study reconstructs 3D spatial transcriptomic models of planarians to map cell type distribution and positional gene regulation, identifying candidate genes involved in regeneration.

This study constructs a 4D spatiotemporal transcriptomic map of planarian regeneration using Stereo-seq, identifying dynamic gradients and an injury-induced regenerative zone.

This study shows that ERK signaling duration regulates muscle stem cell plasticity in axolotl tail regeneration, with distinct phases promoting fibroblast and chondrocyte fates.

This study identifies divergent stem cell mechanisms in axolotl tail and limb regeneration, showing that TGF-β signaling determines lineage fate of muscle stem cells.

This study identifies two transcriptional cascades, BMP/JAK-STAT-zfh-2-bab1/B-H2/Lim1 and Notch-drm/bowl-bab1, that regulate cockroach leg regeneration.

The paper shows that vertebral segmentation during axolotl tail regeneration occurs via a buckling instability mechanism, distinct from the somite-based process in embryonic development.

The paper identifies segment-specific chromatin states at homeoprotein loci in axolotl limb segments, showing how positional information is encoded for regeneration.

The paper uses Stereo-seq to map single-cell transcriptomes of axolotl telencephalon during development and regeneration, identifying a key radial glial cell subtype involved in early wound healing.
