Bottlenose dolphins have exceptional ability. Despite the open wound in shark bites, he can heal wounds quickly without pain, bleeding, and infection.
Michael Zasloff, a researcher from Georgetown University Medical Center, published its findings in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, July 21, 2011 and then, about some of the ability of dolphins to recover from injuries. Shark bite wounds, some of them bigger than basketball, cured in a matter of weeks without making a dolphin's disability, pain, or infection.
Zasloff very interested in natural medicines and tried to imitate it. He has found a natural antibiotic that is used on the skin of frogs and dogfish sharks drug from a potentially cure cancer.
Some of the remarkable ability to work together to produce amazing ability to recover on dolphins. The first is the ability of dolphins did not experience bleeding deadly, though suffering from wounds with a large hole in his body.
Zasloff said the marine mammals that dive there is the possibility of using the mechanism, which stops blood flow to parts of the body is less important to reduce blood flow to injured areas when it begins to clot.
Second, during the process of wound healing, dolphin shows no sign of infection. Researchers found that the skin and fat layer of the animal contain antibacterial compounds, which may help stop the infection in open wounds.
Dolphins also showed no reaction when the pain from the wound healed Typically, open wounds were deep enough to change behavior and feeding habits of animals for several weeks. Although mortally wounded, dolphins still eating and behaving normally.
"They have the possibility of obtaining the regenerative ability of specialized stem cells, such as the number of amphibians that can grow a new leg," says Zasloff.*** [LIVESCIENCE | KORAN TEMPO 3600]
