Limb regeneration is common in animals like axolotls and other amphibians, but it doesn't occur in mammals like mice and humans. Michael Levin (Tufts University) explains his early experiments in creating biodomes, which are wearable bioreactors that stimulate limb growth. The biodomes contain a gel with medicines inside to promote regrowth. Surprisingly, even the negative control, without any medicine, stimulated some level of regeneration in adult frogs. Do you think this medical technology can ever develop into something helpful for healing wounds and treating amputees? #biology #axolotl #regeneration #mouse

I like where this is going Professor Connors
Taking into consideration how long bones take to heal I would say this if ever figured out will be exclusive for very young individuals
Everytime he goes onto a podcast i pay attention for the full length like he's gicing tips for finals. Michael Levin and his colleagues are dr Connors , ask spiderman how this turns out 😂.
This man's research blows my mind. Brains have bioelectric maps to tell cells what tissue to become. Insane
Bacta tanks are about to be real science, no longer science fiction!! xD
Wtf that's genuinely genius
Now we need spiderman 😅
Sounds like a Frankenstein is coming soon 😂
I hope medical reach this point soon
this is why I'm on YouTube
There can be this for people, just try to make the dome be in a liquid that human body understand, the gel is different, it best would be blood as liquid. Try to drive out the blood from frogs, it will do regenerate in a empty dome.
Bacta tanks don't seem so unrealistic now
I won’t lie , i got into a bad car accident and almost had to get my leg amputated. Tore 2 of 4 major ligaments in my knee , never thought i’d walk again. God willing my ligaments began to regrow. And yes this could be strong scar tissue but doctors said it was something they’ve never seen
If you think about it it makes total sense. Goku had to sit in that medical machine for days just to heal up.
"When you have an amputation as a mouse...." Peter Pettigrew: "hm relatable."
Infinite frog legs hack for the evil frog leg lover?
I read that information in the book "the body electric"
Great, now they're gonna farm frogs for unlimited frog's legs now 😭
“sell me this rubber cap”
Guess why we should also cover and moisturize bigger wounds (its the same as the bio dome) our body can regenerate to some degree wich is still mindblowing
