Abstract in brief

The axolotl was first introduced to European laboratories and aquariums in 1864, where its unique biology captivated both amateurs and scientists, leading to its widespread distribution across Europe.
Early research focused on understanding its peculiar anatomy, metamorphosis, and distinguishing whether it was a larva or an adult, highlighting its significance in developmental biology.
Over time, advances like transgenic lines and its relevance to stem cell and regeneration research have revived the axolotl's role as a vital model organism in scientific studies.]
