LOBSTERS ARE NOT IMMORTAL, this is simply not true. Urban myth. https://lnkd.in/dz29spw View in LinkedIn

TRUTH PLUS URBAN MYTH. "Some animals such as lobsters and certain jellyfish do not die of old age." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_extension View in LinkedIn

REGENERATION IN MAN. "Progress in our understanding of the molecular basis of the regenerative response is moving rapidly, and the goal of eventually inducing a regenerative response in humans may lie in the not so distant future." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.b.20082/full View in LinkedIn

RESTORATION DREAMS. "The general conclusion that a reduction in regenerative potential in humans is an example of a lost function can be viewed as a positive indicator for efforts aimed at inducing, or rather restoring, a regenerative response." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.b.20082/full View in LinkedIn

THE FUTURE. "Certainly, the tremendous successes we have witnessed in animal cloning demonstrate the feasibility of reactivating developmental programs in adult cells." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.b.20082/full View in LinkedIn

WOUND HEALING involves dedifferentiation. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.b.20082/full View in LinkedIn

SUPER-FAST HEALING. "Urodele wound closure occurs incredibly fast; in young axolotls, an amputation wound is closed within 4 hr, and in the adult newt, wound closure is completed in less than 12 hr. By comparison to a similar-size mammalian wound, for example, an amputated mouse digit that takes multiple days to close, the speed of urodele wound closure is extraordinary." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.b.20082/full View in LinkedIn

INJURY GENES. "Associated with the injury response, a number of regeneration-specific genes will also be upregulated. A subset of these genes may be linked to the initiation of the dedifferentiation process, another subset of genes may be inhibitory for dedifferentiation, and a final subset may be completely unrelated." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.b.20082/full View in LinkedIn

SEEDS OF A MYTH. "Early in this century, Alexis Carrel, a noted cell culturist, surgeon and Nobel Laureate, described experiments purporting to show that fibroblasts derived from chick heart tissue could be cultured serially indefinitely. The culture was voluntarily terminated after 34 years. This finding sparked intense interest world-wide not only in the scientific community but in the lay press as well." http://protein.bio.msu.ru/biokhimiya/contents/v62/full/62111380.html View in LinkedIn
