The human brain after the injury
It is difficult to recover on its own
And an animal called a salamander
But it gives scientists to study human brain regeneration
Brings new hope
Science journal cover
It is led by Hangzhou Huada Life Science Research Institute
United 17 units in 3 countries
Done in cooperation
The world's first spatio-temporal atlas of salamander brain regeneration
Demystify the salamander brain's self-recovery process
The results of the study appeared on the cover of Science on September 2
The researchers used it
Artificially bred Mexican blunt-mouthed salamander
It has a strong regenerative capacity
It can regenerate not only limbs, tail, eyes, and skin
as well as organs such as the liver
It can even regenerate the brain

furthermore
Salamanders are evolutionary
Higher than other teleost fish
It has a higher similarity to the mammalian brain structure
meantime
Its gene code sequence
Extremely similar to humans
Therefore, salamanders are used by scientists as such
Important model organisms
to study the challenges associated with regeneration

The research team is based
Spatiotemporal omics technique (Stereo-seq)
The system parsed and compared
Salamander brain development and regeneration process
Salamander brain regeneration process was found
Key neural stem cell subsets
Such stem cell subsets are depicted
Reconstructing the process of damaging neurons
The results help
Human cognitive brain structure and its development process
Regenerative medicine research and treatment for the nervous system
Provide a new orientation
Brain regeneration, is it really going to shine into reality?
Expect scientists to bring more surprises
