The axolotl, also known as Ambystoma mexicanum, is an aquatic salamander renowned for its ability to regenerate its spinal cord, heart, and limbs. These amphibians also readily make new neurons ...

Axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) never outgrow their larval, juvenile stage, in a phenomenon called neoteny. In addition, the animals are known for their ability to regenerate damaged appendages and ...
