Transforming growth factor: beta signaling is essential for limb regeneration in axolotls. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Axolotls (urodele amphibians) have the unique ability, among vertebrates, to perfectly regenerate many parts of their body including limbs, tail, jaw and spinal cord following injury or amputation. The axolotl limb is the most widely used structure as an

La mexicanidad de Xólotl/Axolotl: Maravilla de la literatura y la gastronomía.
Mitologías Hoy, 2019 Para los aztecas, los axólotls eran animales divinos, ya que representaban al dios Xólotl, quien escapó convirtiéndose en maíz, maguey y, luego, en axolotl, para evitar el sacrificio, pero, finalmente, fue atrapado y sacrificado.

Novel axolotl cardiac function analysis method using magnetic resonance imaging. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The salamander axolotl is capable of complete regeneration of amputated heart tissue. However, non-invasive imaging tools for assessing its cardiac function were so far not employed.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control
Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Axolotl MHC architecture and polymorphism [PDF]
European Journal of Immunology, 1999 The MHC of the urodele amphibian Ambystoma mexicanum consists of multiple polymorphic class I loci linked, so far as yet known, to a single class II B locus. This architecture is very different from that of the anuran amphibian Xenopus. The number of class I loci in the axolotl can vary from 6 to 21 according to the haplotypes as shown by cDNA analysis

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1477-1490, August 2026.Despite frogs avoiding low temperatures, examination of four salamander species revealed that none avoided cold and all possessed cold tolerance. Functional analysis of TRPM8, a cold sensor, showed that all salamander TRPM8s had lost their cold sensitivity.

Characterization of Amnion-Derived Membrane for Clinical Wound Applications
BioengineeringHuman amniotic membrane (hAM), the innermost placental layer, has unique properties that allow for a multitude of clinical applications. It is a common misconception that birth-derived tissue products, such as dual-layered dehydrated amnion–amnion graft (
