Are Axolotls Resistant to Cancer? Possible Explanations

2026-01-21

Abstract excerpt

Native to the lakes and wetlands of southern Mexico, the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is a neotenic salamander that is renowned for its remarkable capacity for regeneration. Beyond regeneration, increasing evidence suggests that axolotls may also display resistance to cancer, making them a valuable model for exploring mechanisms of tumor suppression. This review provides an updated overview of molecular and physi...
