🚨Why can’t mammals regenerate limbs like frog tadpoles or salamanders?
In our new paper in @ScienceMagazine, we show that species-specific oxygen sensing acts as a gatekeeper for initiating limb regeneration 🐭🐸

Two new Science studies in mice explore the roots of vertebrate limb regeneration and show that manipulating tissue mechanics, oxygen levels, and epigenetic signals can unlock regenerative potential.
The findings have the potential to open new doors for improved healing in humans.

Une équipe de l'EPFL a découvert comment la détection de l'oxygène explique pourquoi les amphibiens régénèrent leurs membres et pas les mammifères.

This work started at @EPFL , @epflSV and submission/revision took place during our relocation and lab rebuild (!)at our new home @maxplanckpress @MPI_Bio
Enormous thanks to both institutions for supporting the project throughout!!
