 Amazing header image from James Provost for Dr. Amber Dance's article "Regeneration: The amphibian's opus." I'm a bit behind, but I wanted to highlight this great article that I was fortunate enough to contribute to in Knowable Magazine. Dr. Amber Dance, the journalist, who authored the piece, did an incredible job describing the regeneration process and synthesizing where the field currently is. There are also great segments from other folks in the limb regeneration field. I had a blast talking with Amber and being able to show off some of our images/movies (see below)! Give it a read and do check out the entire issue, entitled "Building Bodies." It's really some phenomenal science communication on big questions in regeneration and developmental biology.

Excited to talk about our new manuscript now on BioRxiv about injury responsive cells in the adult mouse skin! A great collaboration with Tatiana Sandoval-Guzmán of CRTD, Dresden. I've summarized the main points in the infographic below. Check it out!  Excited to see our new review entitled "The journey of cells through regeneration" is now online at Current Opinion in Cell Biology. This was a collaborative work with my colleague Tatiana Sandoval-Guzmán from the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden. What can cutting-edge regenerative therapies learn from examples of in vivo animal regeneration? We believe that the key is understanding the unique phases of regeneration and how cells experience them in space and time to rebuild lost structures.  This was really a lot of fun to write. In addition to all the great ideas that came up in the course of putting this together, creating the figures was a new and awesome experience. I drew the figures by hand with pencil/paper and then digitized them. Then Tatiana and I colored them digitally with watercolor brushes in Illustrator. I'm pretty proud of the result!   Be sure to check out other reviews in that issue of Current Opinion for some great topics in cell differentiation, regeneration, and disease!
