Group leader at the Hubrecht Institute, fascinated by tissue regeneration. Studies the axolotl, a vertebrate capable of regenerating entire limbs after injury, and uses the principles learnt to build 3D tissues in vitro. 🇳🇱🇦🇹🇬🇧🇯🇵
Thank you very much, Osvaldo!

Salamanders normally regenerate only the missing part of the arm after an injury - e.g. | Leo Otsuki
Salamanders normally regenerate only the missing part of the arm after an injury - e.g. a wrist-level injury only regenerates a hand. But if they receive retinoic acid (RA), this control is overridden...

This raises exciting questions about the molecular and physical requirements for re-building each part of the limb.
Congratulations to all the authors @jamesmonaghan.bsky.social lab on a beautiful study!

Similar to whole-limb regeneration, nerves are essential for the digits to regenerate. Amazingly, the authors found that the second finger regenerates more accurately than the others (why?) - but apparently not due to the degree of nerve innervation or differences in classical limb patterning genes.
