Resumen (es)

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

Ambystoma mexicanum es un anfibio urodelo endémico del lago Xochimilco en México, perteneciente a la familia de salamandras Ambystomatidae. Esta especie se ha empleado frecuentemente como organismo modelo en laboratorios de biología del desarrollo y regeneración alrededor del mundo, dadas sus amplias capacidades regenerativas y adaptabilidad en condiciones de laboratorio. En esta revisión, se describe el establecimiento de la primera colonia de ajolotes en Colombia, para adelantar estudios de regeneración de tejidos, y se discuten las perspectivas de A. mexicanum como organismo modelo en el país, enfatizando sus posibles usos en regeneración y biología del desarrollo
