Retinoic acid breakdown is required for proximodistal positional identity during axolotl limb regeneration - Nature Communications

How axolotl salamanders know what portion of the limb to regenerate remains a mystery. In this article, the authors show that precise retinoic acid degradation is critical for instructing regener...

Nature research paper: Molecular basis of positional memory in limb regeneration

https://go.nature.com/44OtQj3

Molecular basis of positional memory in limb regeneration - Nature

A molecular analysis of axolotl limb regeneration has identified a positive genetic circuit that maintains posterior cell identity and can be used to reprogramme anterior cells into posterior cells.

My favorite examples are the new composite PROX-HOX2 and GLI-RFX3 motifs, which drive highly specific reporter expression in transgenic mouse embryos, with the latter reminiscent of Shh expression pattern!

I absolutely love this teeny little transmitter that allowed researchers to figure out that bats surf storm fronts. That story and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

As you might guess I spend a lot of time thinking about tail regeneration. So I figured we might as well put this in a review article. Glad to see this out before the end of the year and thankful for the input from @murawalalab.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Chordate tail regeneration represents the remarkable ability of some chordates to partially or completely regenerate a significant portion of their pr…
