An amazing work of Sean Keely and a great collaboration network between Germany, Colombia and Japan. @cmcb-tud.bsky.social
Kazald1, associated with skeletogenesis and odontogenesis ancestral to jawed vertebrates. Kazald3, commonly lost but it evolved novel expression patterns in teleost fish!
Kazald4, of unknown role, but highly expressed in avian brain.
Just published from our group!
Study of a family of genes, one of them previously associated to regeneration in axolotls (Kazald2) and now we associate its expression during regeneration ancestral of bony vertebrates.

We deleted a rhomboid protease… and regeneration went into overdrive.

Tissue-resident macrophages are doing more than just protecting from infection. In this interesting paper, René Fernando Abarca-Buis et al shows that they can promote reepithelialization and blastema formation and regulate the maturation of chondrocytes. Check it out here:

This analysis revealed similarities but also striking differences to what we know in animal models (axolotl for example). It remains a mystery, why more proximal injuries do not regenerate. But studies like this help us understand more closely how we humans can re-form missing structures.
A bit late but a paper from our lab has been published!
Human fingertip regeneration is a fact, it happens in children and adults (not only in children as it has been long believed). We describe here the regenerative phases and analyse the proteome of wound exudates.

Thanks!
A new research facility dedicated to axolotls, will be opening soon. Hosting the UK’s only dedicated axolotl research colony and will support world class studies into regeneration, ageing, cancer resistance and stem cell biology.

What are the odds??
Yesterday I bought a book that was dedicated exactly 44 years ago!!
New paper from our lab and @friedrich-group.bsky.social !! Insights into morphogen gradient scaling to regenerate a limb at the appropriate size. #axolotl, #limbregeneration
Our study on the role of the Pou4 gene in planarian neural regeneration has been published. Congratulations to the trainees and team members who led this work!

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."
Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.
Very sad news. Our group had the great fortune to collaborate with him and his group and to be inspired by his passion for science and patience for those of us not in the field. We are forever grateful to have had that opportunity.
Double Yay for regenerative biology 🥳 congrats Can 🥂!!
🥳 Thrilled to share that our lab has been awarded an ERC StGrant for our project SigReg: Signal to Regeneration!
How can we unlock limb regeneration in adult mammals?
It’s time to apply what we learned from 🐸 ➡️ 🐭
Thank you @erc.europa.eu for supporting ambitious science!!!
Congrats @aniaczark.bsky.social !! I am so happy for you (and the regeneration field 😉) 🥳🥳
🥳 Congratulations to our postdoc, Dr. Anna Czarkwiani @aniaczark.bsky.social, on receiving the ERC Starting Grant @erc.europa.eu!
With €2 million in funding, Anna will explore the biology of gravisensation and uncover insights into related disorders. 🧠
