American scientists from North Carolina made a discovery. In their opinion, in the near future, the human body will be capable of rapid cell regeneration and, as a result, people will be able to grow new limbs, like amphibians..

They came to similar conclusions based on a study of the DNA of spiny newts.. Spiny newts are tailed amphibians capable of regenerating tissues and organs, including parts of the cerebral cortex, in a short time..

The genome of these animals is more than 6 times larger than the human one..

However, the researchers found that they have a large number of copies of microRNAs found in humans, in particular in embryonic stem cells and cancer cells..

Researchers claim that embryonic stem cells are able to transform into any cells in the human body - this is a hypothesis and is the reason for the opinion that this ability to transform may be the key to the ability to restore limbs in humans.

The theory also suggests that this could lead to a cure for diseases such as Parkinson's..
