Axolotls use adrenaline signaling to regenerate legs! Today, we can finally share the official publication of a really exciting project we've pursued over the last several years. Thanks to the entire team for their creativity, expertise, and work. cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

There are several cool findings:

• Limb loss triggers a body-wide activation response that kickstarts regeneration • This response requires sympathetic innervation and adrenergic signaling • Uninjured distant tissues keep a "memory" of the amputation so they can respond more quickly if they are later injured

I've gotten so many emails from kids lately that I'm hosting a live Q&A for grades 4-6 to answer all those burning axolotl questions! Teachers can contact me for a Zoom link (email below). Feb. 2, 9-10am Eastern.

Anyone in the Boston/Cambridge area have some Cas9 protein they can spare? We can bring you some replacement as soon as our order arrives or swap for something else. We usually use MacroLab/Berkeley’s Cas9-NLS, but we’d try another vendor.
