Reimagining Mexico’s brain bank
Since Alzheimer’s disease researcher José Luna-Muñoz assumed leadership of the facility—Latin America’s oldest—in 2011, he has been acquiring additional tissue types and is working to expand donor recruitment to rural areas.

Inside the sea cucumber’s regenerative superpowers
José E. García-Arrarás studies how these marine invertebrates manage to regrow their nervous system, intestines and other internal organs in a matter of months after threats prompt them to literally spill their guts.

Reimaginando o banco de cérebros do México
Desde que o pesquisador da doença de Alzheimer José Luna-Muñoz assumiu a direção da instituição—a mais antiga da América Latina—em 2011, ele vem adquirindo novos tipos de tecido e trabalhando para ampliar o recrutamento de doadores nas áreas rurais

Os superpoderes regenerativos do pepino-do-mar
José E. García-Arrarás estuda como esses invertebrados marinhos conseguem regenerar seu sistema nervoso, intestinos e outros órgãos internos em questão de meses, depois que ameaças os levam a, literalmente, "expelir suas entranhas".
