    Abstract:
    While the capacity to regenerate tissues or limbs is limited in mammals, including humans, axolotls are able to regrow entire limbs and major organs after incurring a wound. The wound blastema has been extensively studied in limb regeneration. However, due to the inadequate characterization of ECM and cell subpopulations involved in the regeneration process, the discovery of the key drivers for human limb regeneration remains unknown. In this study, we applied large-scale single-cell RNA sequencing to classify cells throughout the adult axolotl limb regeneration process, uncovering a novel regeneration-specific mitochondria-related cluster supporting regeneration through energy providing and the ECM secretion (COL2+) cluster contributing to regeneration through cell-cell interactions signals. We also discovered the dedifferentiation and re-differentiation of the COL1+/COL2+ cellular subpopulation and exposed a COL2-mitochondria subcluster supporting the musculoskeletal system regeneration. On the basis of these findings, we reconstructed the dynamic single-cell transcriptome of adult axolotl limb regenerative process, and identified the novel regenerative mitochondria-related musculoskeletal populations, which yielded deeper insights into the crucial interactions between cell clusters within the regenerative microenvironment.
