We are constantly developing advanced tools to enable the use of newts and axolotls as research models

Optical clearing & Light-sheet microscopy

Salamander‐Eci: An optical clearing protocol for the three‐dimensional exploration of regeneration

Cellular senescence detection in vivo & in vitro

Axolotl cell_actin_tubulin_hoeschtYUN.ti

A detailed protocol for the identification and characterisation of senescent cells in salamander tissues, as well as induction and detection of cell senescence in cultures.

As a community effort, we contributed to set guidelines for detecting cellular senescence in vivo.

Baculovirus-mediated gene delivery

In a joint effort with the Simon and Leigh labs, we performed the high-coverage sequencing, annotation and chromosome-scale assembly of the giant P. waltl newt genome. Click here for accessing the genome sequence.
