Axilotal Genome - The Secrets of Regeneration
Scientists had always been interested in the salamander's regenerative talents. But it's only in the last few decades, as we've come to better understand axilotal genetics, that we've really started to unlock the secrets of their super power. One theory has to do with scarring. When humans have a large cut or some other kind of wound, the tissue that grows back is scar tissue. But axelatals don't scar. Part of what's thought to be responsible for their ability to regenerate is that they they resolve the idnitional woundi in a way that dosons involve scarrigether involves much less scarring.
