That's a 2019 video.

This is a 2021, in-depth article on salamanders helping cure brain diseases.

Overcoming obstacles to their research

Although humans share many of the same genes with axolotl, the salamander genome is ten times larger, which poses a formidable barrier to genetic analyses.

According to Jeramiah Smith, an associate professor in the UK Department of Biology and Voss' co-principal investigator, recent efforts have provided much of the genetic data for the axolotl. However, like a pile of puzzle pieces, until the genome is assembled in the correct order, scientists cannot attempt large scale analyses of genome structure and function, which is key to teasing out the mechanisms that give axolotl their abilities.
