Very happy to share our manuscript on positional memory, in which we ask how axolotl cells 'know' which part of the limb to regenerate after injury. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A joy to work with super team Sarah Plattner, Yuka Sugiura and Elly Tanaka Elly Tanaka IMP! 🧵1/14

New paper alert! In a new study, Elly Tanaka and her group (Elly Tanaka) show how the floor plate, a key organizer in development, forms. Read more about the findings here: oeaw.ac.at/imba/research-…

So happy to share our new pre-print, which illuminates how SHH+ floor plate cells contribute to spinal cord regeneration in axolotls. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… I couldn't be more proud of lead author Laura Arb and dream partners Emanuel Cura Costa, Osvaldo Chara and Elly Tanaka! 1/14
