Human Limb Regeneration Research

Regrowing A New Leg Electrically

Bioelectricity, Cell Regeneration, Limb Regeneration, Oxygen Therapy, Regrow Limbs

Scientists are involved in many aspects of limb regeneration and what it would take for a human to regrow a new arm or leg as easily as the Axolotl makes it. However, one area of research for regenerating limbs that is not so often looked at is the electrical regime that exists throughout our bodies.

Limb regeneration is a scientific fact with the Axolotl and other species. If a salamander loses its leg it will simply regrow another. It has the ability to regenerate its spine, eyes, and also parts of its brain.

The Regeneration Of Human Body Parts With The African Lungfish

Limb Regeneration, Organ Regeneration

There was a time not that long ago when the regeneration of human body parts including limb regeneration was in the realms of science fiction exclusively. However, as of today, this is very much the part of scientific literature and the question of when not if this is possible.

The great news is great scientific advancements have been made in the understanding of the regeneration of limbs and body parts in the natural world where it is very common.

Is it Possible for Humans to Regenerate Limbs With The Garfish?

Limb Regeneration

In nature, there are a good number of species recorded by scientists that have powerful regeneration abilities. I previously wrote about the Zebrafish regeneration, and of course, we have talked in detail about the Axolotl which can regrow its limbs, spinal cord, heart and even parts of the brain. Here we explore if it is possible for humans to regenerate their limbs with the help of the Garfish.

Tadpole Tail Regeneration Could Help Amputees Regrow Lost Limbs

Amputees, Limb Regeneration, Organ Regeneration

A new specialized group of skin cells has been identified by scientists at the University of Cambridge that control tail regeneration in tadpoles of the African clawed frog. This discovery has the potential and will contribute to the on-going research in helping amputees regrow their lost limbs. Such a breakthrough would bring about a revolution in medical science as patients go on a more regenerative pathway on their journey of recovery.

Can Humans Regenerate Their Limbs With The Help Of The Zebrafish?

Cell Regeneration, Limb Regeneration, Zebrafish

Is it possible that humans can regenerate their limbs with the help of the zebrafish? This is something scientists are currently investigating as they research the regrowth capabilities of tail fins and other organs of the zebrafish.

In this article, we discuss the zebrafish regeneration abilities and contributions to limb regeneration.

Limb Regeneration With Proteins

Cell Regeneration, Limb Regeneration

Scientists have done a compelling research project, revealing how they have accomplished partial toe regeneration in mice using two proteins. This has involved successfully regenerating joints along with the tissue of bones with mice who had lost or damaged toes.

The researchers feel this study shows powerful promise for applying limb regeneration on humans and amputees one day.
