This study identifies species-specific oxygen sensing as a key factor in limb regeneration, showing that reducing oxygen sensing in amphibians enhances regenerative capacity while mammals require oxygen-sensitive pathways.

The paper develops a limb organoid model to study how signaling centers direct cell fate and spatial organization during limb development.

Spotiflow improves spot detection in microscopy images using deep learning, achieving subpixel accuracy and efficiency across diverse datasets.

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.
