In a new step towards achieving a long -awaited medical dream, a team of American researchers is working on studying the water seminal, known as oxulotel, the amphibian being known for its distinctive appearance and strange smile, to understand the secrets of its unique ability to renew its limbs and members, which may pave the way for the possibility of people restoring their arms or legs in the future,the study Posted in Nature Communications.
An exceptional object with amazing abilities
Excorder is characterized by its natural ability to re -grow any missing part of its body, whether it is a leg or an arm, and even the internal organs such as the heart, lungs, and even parts of the brain, and this amazing property prompted scientists to intensify research to understand the biological mechanisms that stand behind this ability.
Dr. James Monagan, a professor of biology at the University of North Eston in Boston, USA, said this type of sandal has truly supernatural capabilities, adding that oxulotle has become an ideal model for studying tissue renewal in living organisms.
A new experience using glowing Samandel
In a recent study published in the Nature Communications magazine, researchers used a genetic average glow when stimulating a specific chemical known as retinoic acid, a compound similar to vitamin A and is often used in skin care products under the name of retinol.
The team conducted experiments on the seminars by amputating their ends after their anesthesia, then followed the stages of renewal. Monjan explained that the seminars do not show signs of pain or narrowness like mammals, and the full renovation process begins within weeks.
The study found that the retinoic acid works as a kind of an identification system inside the body, which helps the cells to determine their locations for the lost party, and what the part to be built, for example, when amputating the arm from above, a whole arm grows, while if the cut from the middle of the arm, only the lower parts of it grow.
When some beans were given a drug that prevents the decomposition of retinoic acid, abnormal results appeared in the growth process, which confirmed its decisive role in determining the type and shape of the new organ.
The researchers emphasized that humans possess the same genes that oxulotle uses to form its limbs during the stages of fetal growth, but the challenge lies in how to restart these genetic programs in adulthood.
This study is an important progress towards the possibility of renewing the parties in humans.
