Can human fingers grow back after breaking?

Whether the finger of a child when broken can grow again or not and this happens?

Whether the finger of a child when broken can grow again or not and this happens?

You carelessly cut carrots or close the door and the result is a hand or wrist injury. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, such injuries account for 11.3% of cases in emergency rooms in the country. Even serious injuries can cause a victim to permanently lose their fingers or hands.

Tissue cells in adult fingers are also able to replicate if stimulated correctly.

But there was a strange incident that surprised the scientists: the finger of a little girl grew back after being broken.

Dr. Christopher Allan cited the case of a 7-year-old in his essay on Washington University's HSNewBeat magazine. Accordingly, the girl lost her fingertip as she reached into her brother's rotating bike spokes. The doctors had surgery to reattach her finger. However, 8 weeks later, the flesh of the fingertip has completely left. Thinking that she would have a permanently unhealthy finger, the strange thing happened: her fingertips grew back.

This has never happened in adults and scientists want to find the secret of this rebirth.

After a period of research, scientists discovered that tissue cells in adult fingers are also able to replicate if stimulated correctly. This means that scientists must find out the difference between adult and child cells. Is stimulation of regenerating cells the same in these two subjects?

Zebra fish.

Scientists are experimenting on zebrafish (an animal capable of regenerating organs) and mouse cells to accurately determine the factors that affect cell regeneration in animals. breast. Not only that, scientists also want to clarify this process because it can open up a new opportunity to treat people with injuries or loss of certain parts of the body.

While there are still many questions to be answered, scientists have gradually developed a comprehensive treatment plan to help regenerate tissue and bone most effectively. If successful, this can be seen as a breakthrough in the field of cell regeneration ever.
