Cover: Image of an Ambystoma mexicanum limb that has been stained with alizarin red (bone) and alcian blue (cartilage). An ectopic limb (right side) was induced to grow from a wound on the limb proper by deviating a severed nerve and grafting tissue from the opposite limb axis into the wound site. This assay, known as the accessory limb assay, makes it possible to test each of the critical components of limb regeneration: (1) the wound, (2) neurotrophic factors and (3) positional information. Understanding the role of each of these components during limb regeneration in the adult A. mexicanum will bring us closer to harnessing the regenerative capacity in humans.

The role of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) guidelines in disease modelling
The ISSCR provides comprehensive guidelines and standards for using human stem cells in biomedical research. In this Editorial, Cody Juguilon and Joseph Wu discuss how and why these should be incorporated in disease modelling research.
Subject collection: Building advocacy into research
DMM’s series - Building advocacy into research - features interviews, ‘The Patient’s Voice’, with patients and advocates for a range of disease types, with the aim of supporting the highest quality research for the benefit of all patients affected by disease.
