Meet the axolotl, a rare and fascinating salamander that breaks all the rules of nature. With its perpetual smile and ...

A better understanding of how these amphibians grow new appendages may lead to better wound healing—or even new limbs—in humans.

The adorable salamanders are helping scientists investigate a serious question: Could the human body be coaxed to regrow a ...

A new study reveals the key lies not in the production of a regrowth molecule, but in that molecule's controlled destruction.

“We discovered it’s essentially a single enzyme called CYP26b1, that regulates the amount of tissue that regenerates,” Monaghan says. CYP26b1 breaks down retinoic acid, so when the gene that makes the ...

The Axolotl is one of the five pets from the Oasis Egg in Grow a Garden. Both the Axolotl and the Oasis Egg were released as ...

This mob has five colors, with the Blue Axolotl being the rarest one. Expectedly then, finding it is no easy feat. If you don ...

Axolotls are the gold medallists when it comes to limb regeneration. Researchers from Northeastern University have discovered ...

Axolotl Artisanal, owned by Blanca and Cornejo Bella, makes candles to help people deal with stress. It's part of Milwaukee's ...

Could humans be capable of growing new limbs? Scientists are trying to figure that out with the aid of an unexpected resource ...

Molecular signals after severing an axolotl arm direct the remaining cells how to regrow the limb, offering potential ...

In other words, an injured axolotl hand knows not to grow into an arm partly because the enzyme, called CYP26B1, blocks the regeneration process from going further, McCusker explained.
