That's lovely ☺️

Meet the axolotl β€” salamanders that can regrow entire limbs, parts of their heart, spinal cord, and even parts of their brain. Studying how axolotls regenerate could unlock big clues for healing in humans. πŸ”¬πŸ¦Ž #standwithscience #researchmatters πŸ§ͺ 🀝 πŸ–₯️ 🧬

Indeed!!! So many cool discoveries and progress in the field... πŸŽ‰

Congratulations

This #microscopymonday image is by Omar Maged in the @murawalalab.bsky.social. It is of an axolotl kidney showing the glomeruli (magenta). The glomeruli is a cluster of capillaries around the end of a kidney tubule (gray), where waste products are filtered from the blood. #standwithscience πŸ§ͺ 🀝

Pre-print alert: This is our latest work on limb regeneration. We found that connective-tissue (CT) cells are necessary for this process by using a combinatorial approach of #spatial transcriptomics and an #ablation system for the first time in the #axolotl! πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅1/6 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

"Science is where imagination grows into discovery." Karen Crawford’s lifelong curiosity led her to study regenerationβ€”unlocking nature’s secrets for healing and recovery. Science isn’t just knowledge; it’s hope. #standwithscience #standupforscience2025 πŸ§ͺ 🀝

Registration for the ISRB Madison Conference is now open. Early bird registration ends June 15th so don't delay. We also have a pre-meeting workshop for trainees. Hope to see you all in Madison!

This is a cross section of an axolotl's zeugopod by @damgargar.bsky.social, shows the #nuclei (blue), muscles (yellow), and connective tissue (red). A #zeugopod is the middle segment of a vertebrate limb, allowing movements like flexion, rotation & extension. #microscopymonday #standwithscience πŸ§ͺ 🀝
