Genic regions of a large salamander genome contain long introns and novel genes
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background The basis of genome size variation remains an outstanding question because DNA sequence data are lacking for organisms with large genomes. Sixteen BAC clones from the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum: c-value = 32 × 109 bp) were isolated ...

Musashi and Plasticity of Xenopus and Axolotl Spinal Cord Ependymal Cells
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 The differentiated state of spinal cord ependymal cells in regeneration-competent amphibians varies between a constitutively active state in what is essentially a developing organism, the tadpole of the frog Xenopus laevis, and a quiescent, activatable ...

The endocannabinoid system regulates both ependymoglial and neuronal cell responses to a tail amputation in the axolotl. [PDF]
Dev DynAbstract Background The endocannabinoid system is a neuromodulatory system implicated in cellular processes during both development and regeneration. The Mexican axolotl, one of only a few vertebrates capable of central nervous system regeneration, was used to examine the role of the endocannabinoid system in the regeneration of the tail and spinal ...

Retinoic Acid Receptors and the Control of Positional Information in the Regenerating Axolotl Limb
Cells, 2021 We know little about the control of positional information (PI) during axolotl limb regeneration, which ensures that the limb regenerates exactly what was amputated, and the work reported here investigates this phenomenon.

Hematopoietic ontogeny in the axolotl
Blood, 2014 In this issue of Blood , Lopez et al undertake the heroic task of characterizing the blood-forming system of the axolotl ( Ambystoma mexicanum ), an aquatic salamander that provides an excellent model for tissue regeneration and scar-free wound healing.[1][1] Commonly referred to as the ...

Urodele p53 tolerates amino acid changes found in p53 variants linked to human cancer
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Urodele amphibians like the axolotl are unique among vertebrates in their ability to regenerate and their resistance to develop cancers. It is unknown whether these traits are linked at the molecular level.

Salamander Insights Into Ageing and Rejuvenation
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Exhibiting extreme regenerative abilities which extend to complex organs and entire limbs, salamanders have long served as research models for understanding the basis of vertebrate regeneration.

Lens regeneration in axolotl: new evidence of developmental plasticity
BMC Biology, 2012 Background Among vertebrates lens regeneration is most pronounced in newts, which have the ability to regenerate the entire lens throughout their lives.

Science, 2017 Regeneration![Figure][1] Axolotls regenerate limbs by using a mechanism with ancient origins. PHOTO: JANE BURTON/MINDEN PICTURES Unlike starfish or fictional superheroes, most vertebrates cannot regrow their limbs. Axolotls are an exception.
