Axolotls Can Regenerate Almost Any Body Part
Axolotls, a type of salamander, can regenerate lost limbs, parts of their heart, spinal cord, and even portions of their brain without scarring.
About this fact
Axolotls possess extraordinary regenerative abilities, far surpassing most other vertebrates. They can regrow entire limbs, tails, jaws, skin, and internal organs like parts of their heart and lungs. Remarkably, they can even regenerate sections of their spinal cord and brain. This regeneration is perfect, meaning it leaves no scars and the new part is fully functional. Scientists are studying axolotls to understand these mechanisms, hoping to apply the knowledge to human medicine.
