Treatment of trauma through marine life

The tiny hairs of a marine creature in the near future will help surgical surgeons recover muscle tissue quickly for patients.

According to newly published research by British scientists, marine life called tunicates is extracted of small fluff fibers to act as an intermediary to help quickly regenerate damaged muscles on human bodies. .

This finding is a way to help treat patients with serious injuries, even if the body is permanently disabled. That is the result that Manchester University scientists are aiming for marine organisms to serve the health industry. Experts found that tiny filaments of marine organisms contain a special cellulose compound, which is different from the common fiber in plants on the earth's surface. This marine cellulose compound will help human muscle cells quickly knit together to help traumatized patients recover quickly.

According to Dr. Stephen Eichhorn, marine cellulose affects a very sophisticated chemical process of restoring muscles and delivering many other potential outcomes for medicine. Not only does it help restore muscles, but marine cellulose also has the potential to help reconstruct ligaments and nerves - the work that helped Dr. Eichhorn's researcher, James Dugan, win the prize. prestige of the American Chemical Society.

Tunicates, also known as sea squid, developed in many different shapes, sizes and their ancestors were present in the sea in the Cambrian period, some 540 million years ago, considered to be a step between plants and vertebrate animals in the seabed. According to the Daily Mail , small marine organisms are increasingly becoming a major medical research object to find ways to fight infections and how to treat cancer.
