🥳 Thrilled to share that our lab has been awarded an ERC StGrant for our project SigReg: Signal to Regeneration!

How can we unlock limb regeneration in adult mammals?

It’s time to apply what we learned from 🐸 ➡️ 🐭

Thank you @erc.europa.eu for supporting ambitious science!!!

Regeneration blueskyers, what animal models regenerate fingers/finger tips? (Obviously beyond salamanders and mouse) Can lizards regenerate finger tips? Frogs?

How important is #epigenetics for human brain?

Researchers led by @mareikealbert.bsky.social used brain organoids 🧠 🧫 and Epi-CyTOF to show that histone methylation controls how brain cells multiply and how big the organoid grows.

Preprint alert from our lab!
Human fingertip regeneration is not reserved for infants. Adults can regenerate with little to no scarring! We analysed wound fluids of patients during the course of regeneration and found that...

Human fingertip regeneration follows clinical phases with distinct proteomic signatures – a Comprehensive MS/MS analysis

Distal injuries in human fingertips can regenerate almost fully, yet the process of human fingertip regeneration has hardly been characterized on a cellular and molecular level. A silicone finger cap,...

Delighted that our work on positional memory is now published. We asked how axolotl cells 'know' which part of the limb to regenerate after injury.

A joy to work with super team Sarah Plattner, Yuka Sugiura, Francisco Falcon and Elly Tanaka.
