Despite the creatures’ regenerative abilities, scientists are no longer finding them in their natural habitat of Xochimilco, ...

Challenging the long-standing belief that fibroblasts produce skin collagen, researchers have investigated collagen formation in the 'glass-skinned' amphibian axolotl and other vertebrates. They ...

Challenging the long-standing belief that fibroblasts produce skin collagen, researchers at Okayama University have ...

The skin consists of two primary layers. The epidermis, the outermost layer, is predominantly made up of keratinocytes, while ...

Axolotl is an animal model widely used in dermatology research due to its transparent ‘glass skin.’ A study by researchers from Okayama University, Japan, discovered that healthy collagen fibers, ...

Genes can be introduced into cells using different methodologies, such as by hijacking harmless viruses to deliver genes. So ...

The skin consists of two primary layers. The epidermis, the outermost layer, is predominantly made up of keratinocytes, while the deeper dermis ...

Salamanders can regenerate their lost body parts like limbs, tail, and even part of their heart and spinal cord. This ...

Here they show that keratinocytes contribute to dermal collagen formation in axolotl skin in a conserved mechanism, offering new insights into collagen formation. Adult stem cells self-renew and ...

She studies the mechanisms that drive formation of these cells across different species, using chicks, quail, peafowl and axolotls as animal models. Her neural crest cells studies contribute to our ...

Here they generate a cell type atlas of the colonial cnidarian ... Here they show that keratinocytes contribute to dermal collagen formation in axolotl skin in a conserved mechanism, offering ...
