U.S. News & World Report These Smiling Salamanders Are Helping Scientists Learn to Regrow Limbs “This species is special,” lead researcher James Monaghan, a biologist at Northeastern University in Boston, told The Washington Post. They have “really become the champion of some extreme abilities that animals have.” Northeastern biologists find secret to limb regeneration in the axolotl salamander, a ‘superstar of cuteness’ For centuries, scientists have wondered how salamanders regrow limbs, especially axolotls, which do so at one of the fastest rates, said James Monaghan, biology department chair at Northeastern University. Men's Journal This Acne Drug’s Active Ingredient Might Be the Secret to Regrowing Human Limbs Scientists at Northeastern University have uncovered a breakthrough that’s raising eyebrows in both the dermatology and regenerative biology worlds. The chemical at the center of it all? Retinoic acid—a form of vitamin A that’s also the active ingredient in isotretinoin, better known as Accutane. These glowing axolotls may hold the secret to human limb regeneration “This species is special,” said James Monaghan, a Northeastern University biologist who led the research. They’ve “really become the champion of some extreme abilities that animals have.” Popular Science A chemical in acne medicine can help regenerate limbs That some species can regrow limbs while others can’t is one of the oldest mysteries in biology, says James Monaghan, a developmental biologist at Northeastern University. Wired Espanol The axolotl’s key to regenerating its limbs: Scientists discover the molecular switch behind the miracle A team at Northeastern University, led by Professor James Monaghan, has unraveled a key piece of this biological puzzle. El Pais The axolotl’s regenerative power could be on your bathroom shelf. This surprising quality was what caught the attention of biologist James Monaghan , director of the Chemical Imaging of Living Systems Institute at Northeastern University (United States), who has spent more than two decades trying to decipher and understand why these animals have such unique regenerative capabilities that border on the miraculous. James Monaghan for Northeastern Global News How do axolotls regenerate limbs and organs? This researcher has started to uncover the secret How do axolotls regenerate limbs and organs? This researcher has started to uncover the secret The salamander’s ability to regrow limbs and even organs could be the key to regenerative medicine in humans. Why are axolotls suddenly so popular — and going extinct at the same time? Why are axolotls suddenly so popular — and going extinct at the same time? Northeastern professors explain how the axolotl has become so popular, and why it’s also critically endangered in the wild. This salamander can regenerate limbs like Deadpool. Can it teach us to do the same? This salamander can regenerate limbs like Deadpool. Can it teach us to do the same? Scientists are studying how the axolotl can regrow injured or lost body parts flawlessly, and without scarring, to see if humans could develop the same regenerative ability. Here’s what makes a great teacher Here’s what makes a great teacher The passion that drives James Monaghan is tissue regeneration; for Denise Garcia, it’s international diplomacy. While their disciplines couldn’t be more different, what earned them the 2018 University Excellence in Teaching Award is what they have in common—a passion for students on both the academic and human level. The salamander king The salamander king James Monaghan, an assistant professor of biology, studies the axolotl salamander, which can grow new limbs and parts of its spinal cord.
