HINCAPIE, Melisa; CARBONELL-MEDINA, Belfran; ARENAS-GOMEZ, Claudia Marcela y DELGADO, Jean Paul. Ambystoma mexicanum, A MODEL ORGANISM IN DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY AND REGENERATION: A COLOMBIAN EXPERIENCE. Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.1, pp.113-126. Epub 18-Feb-2022.

Ambystoma mexicanum is a urodele amphibian endemic to Xochimilco Lake in Mexico, it belongs to the salamander family Ambystomatidae. This species has frequently been used as model organism in developmental biology and regeneration laboratories around the world due to its broad regenerative capacities and adaptability to laboratory conditions. In this review we describe the establishment of the first colony of axolotls in Colombia to study tissue regeneration and our perspectives on the use A. mexicanum as a model organism in Colombia are discussed emphasizing its possible uses in regeneration and developmental biology.
