biologist Institute for genomic research, and Arizona State University have found a molecule microRNA, which are responsible for the restoration of the tail lizard, reports the publication Medical Xpress.
Because of this finding in the future doctors will be able to regenerate human cartilage, muscles, and even the spine.
Everyone knows from childhood that a lizard that has lost its tail grows a new one. However, so far the mechanism of cell regeneration has not been set.
The researchers conducted a series of experiments on lizards species Anolis carolinensis. It turned out that these three molecules have scaled micro-RNAs that contribute to the restoration of hard and soft tissues.
«We are very excited to be able to find these micro-RNAs, and now we can study in detail them. Because microRNAs are able to control a large number of genes as the orchestra conductor of watching the game Musicians “- explains the importance of the discovery team member Kenro Kusumi
According to lead author Elizabeth Hutchins, in the future, scientists will be able to recover not only. knee cartilage and the spine. The scientist hopes that as a result of the discovery will help to recover accident victims and war veterans.
Prior to this, scientists have conducted hundreds of gene analysis, responsible for cell regeneration in lizards. The full version of the results of the six-year study presented in the scientific journal BioMedCentral.
