1/ Can #Axolotls teach us new things about #HeartRegeneration? A great collaboration between Elly Tanaka and Miguel Torres labs. We’re happy to share our new work in which we ask how axolotls regenerate their hearts and could they help mammals with that? doi.org/10.64898/202...

10/ We thank Elly and Miguel and all the wonderful colleagues involved in this exciting international collaboration between 🇦🇹 @imbavienna.bsky.social and 🇪🇸 CNIC. My great two co-first authors: Jingkui Wang and @jpenap.bsky.social.

8/ But what about mammals? Activating AXL in mouse cardiomyocytes protected them from cell death and induced dedifferentiation, including structural and metabolic changes similar to those seen in regenerating species.
