🚨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 🐭🐸 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #EvoDevo

Fantastic news! 🎉 Huge congratulations to our postdoc @SilviaDaPra for being awarded an @EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowship! Exceptionally well deserved. We're so proud of you and excited to see what comes next 🐸 #FrogPower ! bio.mpg.de/541945/silvia-…

Thrilled to receive the 2026 Schering Young Investigator Award! 🥳🤩 A huge thank you to all students, postdocs, collaborators, and mentors who have been part of this journey. Many thanks to the jury and the Schering Stiftung for this honor. bio.mpg.de/523934/can-azt…

🔬 Diverse species. Stem cells. Highly international team. 🐸🐭 We’re looking for a Technical Assistant to join our stem cell–based research. Interested? Apply here 👉 jobs.tue.mpg.de/jobs/276

Cambridge → Boston → Cambridge again: I’m thrilled to return to Cambridge(UK) to open my lab @GurdonInstitute @Cambridge_Uni !🥳 (mzhulab.com) We study how dev timing shapes and being shaped by plasticity, evolution & ageing. 🚩Hiring at all levels: pls email! 📩

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. 📄: scim.ag/4cowHBk 📄: scim.ag/4dL7tQa

Researchers at EPFL have discovered how oxygen-sensing explains why amphibians regenerate limbs and mammals do not. actu.epfl.ch/news/when-oxyg…

Une équipe de l'EPFL a découvert comment la détection de l'oxygène explique pourquoi les amphibiens régénèrent leurs membres et pas les mammifères. actu.epfl.ch/news/quand-l-o…

Oxygen and hyaluronic acid may play a role in tissue recovery and regeneration, two new studies suggest spklr.io/6010EJTdC

Massive team effort—especially @GeorgeTsissios many thanks to our collaborators @EpiGN_Lab , @WickstromLab , and others who contributed. Cheers!🍾🥂🥳

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!!
