Prayag Murawala, Ph.D., a scientist at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, is leading the effort to establish the Mexican salamander, or axolotl, as a laboratory model for the study of regeneration. With the ability to regenerate almost any body part, the axolotl is nature’s champion of regeneration. The development of new tools to work with the axolotl is elevating it to the level of established research models and positioning the community of scientists who work with it for exponential growth. Many of the new tools developed for working with the axolotl, as well as those that are critically needed to expand the scope of axolotl research, are described by Murawala in two papers published in the June 2022 edition of the journal Developmental Dynamics.
