DOI: 10.1002/dvdy.470
Abstract: Ambystoma mexicanum (axolotl) embryos and juveniles have been used as model organisms for developmental and regenerative research for many years. This neotenic aquatic species maintains the unique capability to regenerate most, if not all, of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/bio.036293
Abstract: ABSTRACT Like other urodela amphibians, axolotls are able to regenerate lost appendages, even as adults, rendering them unique among higher vertebrates. In reaction to the severe trauma of a lost limb, apoptosis seems to be… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes13020373
Abstract: The Mexican axolotl is one of the few vertebrates that is able to replace its lost body parts during lifespan. Due to its remarkable regenerative abilities, the axolotl emerged as a model organism especially for… read more here.
