View Entry | Axolotl6932An axolotl—a type of salamander—that has been genetically modified so that its developing nervous system glows purple and its Schwann cell nuclei appear light blue. Schwann cells insulate and provide nutrients to peripheral nerve cells. Researchers often study axolotls for their extensive regenerative abilities. They can regrow tails, limbs, spinal cords, brains, and more. The researcher who took this image focuses on the role of the peripheral nervous system during limb regeneration.
This image was captured using a stereo microscope.

Light blue spots appear in the salamander’s eyes and throughout its body. | | | Internal Note | | On Jan 11, 2023, at 2:59 PM, Prayag Murawala pmurawala@mdibl.org wrote:
