CRISPR and its potential application to Limb Regeneration : A Literature Review
Résumé
In this article, we explore the fascinating potential of limb regeneration in humans, inspired by the remarkable abilities of salamanders and axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum). These amphibians possess the extraordinary capacity to regenerate entire limbs-a process driven by complex biological mechanisms. By leveraging advancements in CRISPR-Cas9 technology, scientists are beginning to unravel the genetic pathways involved in this regenerative process, opening the door to the possibility of inducing similar regenerative capabilities in humans. We will delve into the theoretical framework, current research, and potential future applications of CRISPR in limb regeneration, drawing parallels to the natural regenerative processes observed in these remarkable creatures.
