How Axolotl Regeneration Works? - Axolotl Nerd
WEBDec 12, 2022 · Scientists have studied the axolotl’s ability to regenerate their lungs, hearts and ovaries. They’ve also found that an axolotl can regrow a millimeter-by-2-millimeter square of their forebrain, called telencephalon. Axolotls can even regenerate a crushed spinal cord in about three weeks and be able to use their legs and tail again. …

Axolotl salamanders provide clues to spinal cord regeneration
WEBMar 12, 2019 · Scientists at the Marine Biological Laboratory have identified gene “partners” in the axolotl salamander that, when activated, allow the neural tube and associated nerve fibers to functionally regenerate after severe spinal cord damage. Interestingly, these genes are also present in humans, though they are activated in a different manner.
