Recent studies on the regenerative abilities of animals, such as zebrafish and lizards, raise the question of their applicability in human medicine. Smriti Mallapaty reports on research aiming to understand how these creatures heal injuries and regenerate limbs, with insights that could transform medical treatments for humans. While this research is promising, there are challenges that may arise, as scientists emphasize the need to focus on specific species that exhibit more comparable regenerative traits to humans, like the anole lizard and marine bristle worm.
The regenerative abilities of certain animals, like zebrafish and lizards, hold potential for human healing, offering insights into tissue repair and recovery from injuries.
Researchers are investigating the biological mechanisms behind animal regeneration to explore their applicability in healing human bodies, highlighting the promise and challenges of such studies.
