We will recreate one of the most difficult parts to replace the body

The most important part of the human body and also the most difficult to replace, is the heart. But in the future, we will recreate it.

Over time, medicine has made remarkable progress. Many incurable diseases are repulsed, even if they lose their limbs or internal organs, they can be replaced.

However, the heart is different. In fact, the heart is one of the most difficult parts to replace the body. Moreover, complications after surgery as well as the ability to eliminate heart valves are relatively high, unable to arbitrarily treat.

So what if when the heart is hurt, we simply need to replace it with an identical heart? That is the future of humanity - according to the conclusion of the University of Florida (USA) experts.

Specifically, the experts believe that people will have a successful development of the process of regenerating heart tissue , by "borrowing" the ability of an organism that does not even have a heart. It is an anemone sea star (starlet sea anemone - Nematostella vectensis).

Creatures will be borrowed by humans.

The sea star knuckles have the ability to recover parts of the body despite being . chopped into small pieces. According to experts, they can apply this ability to restore people's hearts.

But why is an anemone species? Don't many other creatures have the ability to replicate themselves, like lizards?

According to researcher Mark Martindale, the problem lies in anemones contain genes that help form heart cells in humans and other animals.

"Our research shows that if we can understand more about the mechanism of heart cell formation from genes, the ability to reproduce the heart in people will be true" - Martindale said.

When studying the anemone's "heart gene" , experts found some strange reactions to genes in other animals. They do not have " lockdown loop" - which helps cells not evolve into a cell form with completely different functions.

In the human heart, the recovery process is very slow, even almost not happening.

In the human heart, the recovery process is very slow, even almost not happening, so it is not enough to fight the damage. But if the gene does not have the same key ring as an anemone, other cells will be able to turn into any cell - including the heart, thereby helping the heart recover like nothing has happened.

So, if we change muscle cells on the body like anemones, restoring the heart is just a matter of sooner or later. However, the process is still very long, although we have many clues to do that.

The study is published in PNAS magazine.
