The Regenerative Power of Axolotls

Imagine an animal so powerful that if you cut off its leg tail

spine or even part of its heart it simply grows a new one

This is the Axolotl nature’s real life regeneration machine When injured the Axolotl activates

special cells that turn back into stem cells just like in an early embryo

Then it rebuilds the missing body part layer by layer bone muscle

nerves blood vessels everything Scientists tried something shocking

they damaged the Axolotl’s heart and within weeks the heart grew back perfectly

as if nothing ever happened Humans form scar tissue after injuries but Axolotls don’t
