From The Scientist by Deanna MacNeil, PhD

In work published in iScience, a research team led by molecular biologist Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research turned to single-cell RNA sequencing to identify the targets involved in positional memory.2 They investigated how amputation position informs regenerating tailfins in African killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) and identified a cell state in the basal epidermis that is transiently amplified based on amputation distance from the body. They also found extracellular matrix (ECM) components that govern regenerative capacity, and evidence that growth rate can be uncoupled from amputation position.
