A little Wnt might be all it takes to remember how your ancestors regrow their feet Ruoheng Li covers #preprint work from @regen-bio-cie.bsky.social @julianolab.bsky.social et al. on Wnt signaling and the evolutionary loss of regenerative potential in Hydra. Check out the #preLight⬇️

🧪 Wnt signaling restores evolutionary loss of regenerative potential in Hydra. Our recently released study establishes a comparative framework for understanding the molecular basis of regeneration and its evolutionary loss in closely-related species. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It's international Brain Awareness Week and my colleagues at Cinvestav-Mexico City are showcasing the impact that basic research on Neurobiology can have in our daily lives. Fun fact: Hydra also have nerve nets that regenerate completely after injury. conexion.cinvestav.mx/Portals/0/ea...
