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.

Congratulations Otsuki et al. Truly a tour de force!

Still one of the most seminal papers of our field…

Congratulations Shoval, great work!

Congratulations Maya et al. Can’t wait to read the MS!

Drosophila follicle showing retrotransposons (pink & yellow) expressed in somatic cells infecting the oocyte

1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬
But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯
Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells.

Very happy to have contributed to this great work! “Hot” and “cold”fibrosis after heart attacks could be affected by targeting myofibroblast’s Timp1. Congratulations @shovalmiyara.bsky.social and @eldadtzahor.bsky.social

The evolutionary origin and mechanism of chordate tail regeneration. An ancient tale? Chordate tail regeneration represents the remarkable ability of some chordates to partially or completely regenerate a significant portion of their pr…

As you might guess I spend a lot of time thinking about tail regeneration. So I figured we might as well put this in a review article. Glad to see this out before the end of the year and thankful for the input from @murawalalab.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I am really excited for this! If you are coming to Biologists @ 100 (you know you should! @bsdb.bsky.social grants available) and are at an early stage in your career, join us for insights from @richardsever.bsky.social on career development/strategy, network + meet peers ahead of the conference!

Now that the initial transition wave passed, I would be happy to connect with cardiac regeneration folks on here. I study how axolotls regenerate their hearts and I am interested in #devbio #regenbio

Obviously, that’s how they put the holes in Emmental cheese

Excited to share our study on spatio-temporal reconstruction of cardiac scar formation led by Andy Chan. We combine scRNA-seq with spatial transcriptomics to resolve the fibrotic niche and the niche of dedifferentiating cardiomyocytes.

Hi Arica, I’m Elad and currently doing my postdoc in Elly Tanaka’s lab studying similar things in axolotl. Glad to be in touch with you

Ok, it’s nice and all here but where are the posts with cute cat gifs?

If you share our enthusiasm for #regeneration, share, follow, and (self-)nominate people to the list.

Thank you Filipa, saw your X post so had to join and say hi :)

🚨🚨🚨
On Monday December 9th we will have the privilege to host Eldad Tzahor from the Weizmann Institute.
He will present his remarkable work on Advancing cardiac therapeutics from animals to patients, at noon in the room Shapira in Institut Cochin
Everyone is welcome

The talk was great and memorable (only for the science, dont worry). I hope you feel better soon!
