Exciting times await molecular biology discoveries, now poised to expand beyond conventional boundaries!
The journal’s scope now extends beyond 'traditional' model organisms to embrace the growing complexity of interdisciplinary studies that bring molecular biology and genomics into ‘non-traditional’ species, from axolotl and parasitic wasps, to moths and brown algae.
Today the EMBO Journal special issue on molecular ecology and evolution is finally published.
It was a pleasure coordinating this collection together with @berndpulverer.bsky.social and many outstanding authors.

🚨 Why can’t mammals regenerate limbs like frog tadpoles or salamanders?
In our new paper in @science.org , we show that species-specific oxygen sensing acts as a gatekeeper for initiating limb regeneration 🐭🐸

Why mammals cannot regenerate limbs like amphibians do presents a long-standing puzzle in biology. To uncover the underlying differences, we compared amputation responses of embryonic mouse (Mus musculus) and Xenopus laevis tadpole limbs. Lowering ...
