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...]
New Limb Regeneration and Axolotl Genome Research
The Axolotl which is native to central America has amazing healing powers where it can regrow lost limbs, organs, along with its spinal cord, eyes and even parts of its brain. In fact there is little it cannot do that does not impress scientists. Because of this researchers from around the world are building up improved mapping of the salamander's genome and … [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...]
New Insights Into Cell Regeneration and Bioelectric Communication
New insights that have implications for cell regeneration and tissue repair research, at Tufts University, have been discovered by scientists. They show that amputation of a limb reveals the bioelectric characteristics of the other unharmed limb of frogs that are developing. Bioelectric patterns in the healthy limb of depolarisation shows a direct correlation of the location … [Read more...]
Research On Axolotl Limb Regeneration Shows Link To Humans
New research into Axolotl Limb Regeneration by scientists, reveals insights linking the principles of limb regrowth to Mammals which also means us humans. The gifted ability of the Axolotl to replace lost limbs during its adult years has always compelled researchers to understand the process and using it as a perfect role model for understanding human regeneration. It is … [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...]
Regeneration of Human Limbs and the Mapped Axolotl Genome
The research in regeneration of human limbs for amputees has become one step closer to reality. Scientists have successfully mapped out the genome of the Mexican axolotl salamander to help identify the genes and the DNA sequencing involved in the process of regeneration. Consider for a moment if an exotic medical cocktail could be applied to the patient's injury site, as … [Read more...]
