Transcriptomic landscape of the blastema niche in regenerating adult axolotl limbs at single-cell resolution Communications

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

face_with_colon_three Year 2018 This detailed information about axoxtl limb regeneration is giving scientists a better understanding of how this remarkable can regenerate and eventually it will help humans regenerate lost limbs too.


Limb regeneration requires a blastema with progenitor cells, immune cells, and an overlying wound epidermis, but molecular identities of these populations are unclear. Here, the authors use single-cell RNA-sequencing to identify transcriptionally distinct cell populations in adult axolotl limb blastemas.
