This study develops epigenetic clocks for axolotls, revealing biphasic age prediction during early life but not later, and highlights methylome stability across lifespan.

This study shows that cellular senescence promotes progenitor cell expansion during axolotl limb regeneration by creating a pro-proliferative niche and modulating Wnt signaling.

The paper shows that the newt Pleurodeles waltl maintains telomeres without telomerase, using ALT for whole-organism telomere length preservation.
