American scientists representing the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, led by Ona Bloom, say the Wnt gene will cure paralysis after a severe back injury. Scientific work published on the pages of Scientific Reports.

According to Ona Bloom, it has been known for many years that serious spinal injuries of primitive fibroid fish heal spontaneously, but it was not known which genes are responsible for healing..

In the course of scientific work, all the components of the recovery process were revealed, which will make it possible to find the DNA sequence responsible for the restoration of the spinal cord.

The Wnt gene is not a tissue regeneration generator, but includes a chain of FOXC1, LEF1 and NFKB1, which, in turn, activate other genes in neurons and supporting tissues. Interestingly, the genomic map of this region is 96% identical to the human one..
