In nature there are many examples of limb regeneration at work. The Mexican Axolotl can regrow its limbs in a matter of weeks, the Gecko Lizard that regenerates a new tail when it sheds it to escape predators. Or how about Newts that are able to pretty much replace whatever type of body tissue that they have lost. When it comes to the wild the regeneration capabilities of … [Read more...]
Regrowing Human Body Parts with new Stem Cell Research
The Holy Grail of regrowing human body parts could well be within our reach, since a significant discovery in the science of stem cell research has been identified by experts. Scientists have found a single stem cell that is able to regenerate an entire organism, and is the cause of the planarian flatworm to regenerate its head along with its brain and other bodily … [Read more...]
The Wake Forest Institute For Regenerative Medicine
In this comprehensive analysis we will observe what The Wake Forest Institute For Regenerative Medicine is and the kind of amazing futuristic type of work scientists are developing. This includes limb and organ regeneration research, along with 3D printing of tissues using stem cells. The Institute at Wake Forest is an affiliated organization to the Wake Forest School of … [Read more...]
How To Regrow Arms And Legs With Epimorphic Regeneration
In an highly ambitious goal, a team of scientists explore epimorphic regeneration in humans to regrow arms and legs. Growing digits and limbs with 3D structure and with functionality may be a reality one day according to a team at Tulane and Washington Universities. Breaking the chains of the biological complexities and their regenerative processes that would allow humans to … [Read more...]
Growing Back Limbs and Functional Joint Regeneration
In a striking new breakthrough, Japanese scientists have been able to regenerate functional joints in frogs, and the same may be soon applied to humans for growing back limbs. This has been made possible by an understanding of a newly discovered 'integration' matrix that when activated allows the frogs to regenerate functional joints. The group of scientists from Kyoto … [Read more...]
