Magical dolphin

Scientists have discovered dolphins have the ability to self-healing miraculously, opening new directions in the treatment of humans.

Expert Michael Zasloff of Georgetown Medical Center (USA) has just published a new study on the Journal of Investigative Dermatology , in which he presents his self-healing ability with surprising effects on dolphins. . In some cases, Zasloff noted that serious wounds on the dolphin body disappeared after a few weeks without leaving any dents, even though it was the mark of a shark that was larger than a baseball.

Zasloff is a field expert taking advantage of natural healing methods. He found an antibiotic that frogs use on their skin to fight infection, or cancer therapy in rough shark.

Heal itself

The results of Georgetown University's research showed that miraculous healing ability was well combined with some special abilities in dolphins. First, although carrying terrible wounds on people, dolphins do not bleed to death. Zasloff said they can apply a deep-diving mechanism, which cuts off blood circulation in unimportant parts of the body to reduce blood flow to the wounded site. Next, during treatment, the wound on the dolphin does not show signs of infection. Experts believe that their own skin and fat contain antimicrobial compounds, which help prevent infections from occurring in open wounds.

Dolphins also do not have the usual painful reactions during recovery. Usually, an open wound will strongly affect an organism's behavior as well as its eating habits, at least for the first few weeks. When talking to the dolphin care experts, Zasloff found that they ate and behaved normally despite how severe the wound was on them.

The self-healing ability of dolphins is also extremely impressive. According to Zarloff, within a few weeks, dolphins can complete replacement of diseased cells without causing any dents in the body . They can possess this regeneration ability from some special stem cells, like regrowth or limbs in some amphibian species.

Application in humans

Understanding the regeneration mechanism of dolphins can be useful in humans. The methods used by marine mammals to weave tissue can rely on a number of special stem cells or proteins, and that may be what humans can meet. ' This is a very structured human-like creature. The new discovery could be an invaluable source of information that we can use to decipher the greatest secrets in the medical world ', according to Zasloff.

Other proteins that dolphins produce during wound patching, such as analgesic or antibacterial proteins, have the potential to work in humans. Because dolphins are self-relieving pain relievers, this compound may not cause addiction when applied on the human body as many current painkillers.
