This paper evaluates updates to Nanopore direct RNA sequencing for detecting RNA modifications, showing improved accuracy in identifying pseudouridine and N6-methyladenosine.

This study shows that PUS7's cytoplasmic localization enhances stress tolerance by increasing pseudouridylation of mRNAs involved in metal and ROS homeostasis.

This study shows that pancreatic injury in axolotl leads to β-cell regeneration without blastema formation, through organ-wide proliferation that recovers β-cell mass.

This study shows VEGF signaling is essential for salamander limb regeneration and blastema expansion, independent of angiogenesis, and functions upstream of EMT transcription factors.

This study examines long-range epidermal permeability changes after amputation in axolotls and planarians, finding increased permeability and MAPK signaling downregulation in axolotls and functional evidence of MAPK inhibition increasing permeability in planarians.
