The project aims to understand the mechanisms behind organ and tissue regeneration, focusing on salamanders' ability to regenerate limbs, spinal cords, hearts, and brains. It investigates translation regulation, mTOR pathway activation, and mRNA organization to uncover why some species regenerate effectively while others do not, potentially informing regenerative medicine.
Description
