#Regeneration of fins and limbs relies on shared cellular playbook
Immune cells, blood and repair #genes act in concert across three regenerating #vertebrates
Team cut fins off #bichirs and tracked #gene activity at wound after one, three and seven days, which revealed types of cells present and activity. Team compared data to similar new and existing data about #axolotl, salamander that regrows limbs, and #zebrafish, a that can regrow tips of fins

Wild type,
Axolotls aren’t fantasy creatures.
They’re real, ancient, and doing things science can't explain.
Regrow a limb. Stay young forever.
Just another day in the water.

Axolotl on wood
I placed the lights and shadows to create the illusion of the subject coming forth from the canvas. The warm earthy tones of its surroundings and the wood contrast the rich blues of the axolot beautifully. I painted this study in oil with great care and heartfelt love for the animal, which you can see in details like the pattern and the fine frills of the gills.
