" Nature's Secret Superhero "
The Monaghan Lab focuses on understanding the cellular mechanism that results in the regenerative properties of axolotl salamanders. Axolotls are our distant ancestors who have retained the ability to regenerate complex organs including their brains, lungs and limbs. By studying how axolotls access these regenerative abilities, the Monaghan Lab hopes to one day be able to discover the basis for regenerative therapy.
