WILL HUMANS BE ABLE TO REGROW LOST LIMBS?
Nirosha Murugan is an Asst Prof at Algoma University & an interdisciplinary scientist who uses a top-down approach, to combine principles and state-of-the-art techniques from neuroscience, regenerative medicine, and cancer biology, to investigate how cancer cell fate can be reprogrammed into healthy cells using regenerative microenvironments, and in turn, how cancer microenvironments can modulate the function of distant organ systems such as the brain to induce cancer-related cognitive impairments.

She along with Michael Levin & David Kaplan led the team of researchers to discover a regenerative process to regrow new limbs on frogs, A five-drug-cocktail silicone cap was put over the wounds of frogs for a 24-hour treatment period. After 18 months the frogs regrew functional limbs with nerves, muscles, bones and even things that resembled toes.

"Technology like this and other 'smart bandages,' is what Dr Nirosha & her team are calling it, are new directions and new advancements to minimizing pain associated with limb loss and actually regrowing the limb after it has been lost.
Dr Murugan is hopeful that within our lifetime this technology can be used to treat humans who have lost limbs.
