Abstract

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

墨西哥Ambystoma，发育生物学和再生的模式生物：哥伦比亚的经验

墨西哥蝾螈（Ambystoma mexicanum）是墨西哥科奇米尔科湖的特有两栖动物，属于蝾螈科。由于其广泛的再生能力和对实验室条件的适应性，该物种经常被用作世界各地发育生物学和再生实验室的模式生物。在这篇综述中，我们描述了在哥伦比亚建立第一个研究组织再生的蝾螈群体，并讨论了我们对墨西哥蝾螈作为哥伦比亚模式生物的看法，强调了它在再生和发育生物学中的可能用途
