@razoraresharp Or to regenerate the entire human body. Think of it, planarians don't get old, they stay functional till they are either eaten or have a genetic failure. If we identify the genes to promote regeneration, we could regain youth longevity or just grow a whole new body of you and simply place your brain into that identical body of you.
It is very plausible that as unicellular organisms became multicellular (thus complexities of intra cellular interactions became more complex), it is perhaps not achievable in medicine to regrow a mammalian limb (bone, cartilage, muscles, endothelial, epithelial tissues, etc), because that would just be too complex of a process to undertake. Thus we see it only in lower life forms and evolution has forsake regeneration in exchange for mammalian complexities.
@srskjop. I knew some lizzards are able to regenerate parts of their bodies, and they have brains too. I doubt to being complex avoids being regenerative. (Sorry, my english is very basic).
@nekononora Well, all animals (including humans) have the ability to regenerate, certain lizards can regenerate a lost limb, or tail because it isn't very hard to form those certain body parts in a lizard. Our arms contain more bones, more muscle, etc etc. I'm sorry about my wording previously, but I was trying to say that a less complex organism--Planaria for example-- would be able to regenerate a lot more than a lizard. Planaria also have brains which happen to be very highly developed for
@srskjop I agree at all, except maybe the part that says the tail or limb of the lizzard is simplier than ours. The general structure is very similar, the mass in my other hand... Maybe even if two species has the same regenerative structures, a very massive body turns the regeneration imposible, part for the obstacles to deliver big amounts of reconstructibe blocks, part for the time needed to rebuilt, wich become usles becouse compromise homeostasis. What do you think?
@nekononora Well I believe the evolution of humans resulted in choosing a more complex system (thinking and acting) over regeneration. I would much rather choose a brain and an immune system over being a long worm able to live over and over.
Wow, hopefully soon we can have a medicine like in Star Trek IV where Kirk gives that old lady a pill that grow her a new kidney xD

We are studying the classification levels of the Platyhelminthes phyla. This is a very informational, helpful video. Thanks.

Thank you very much. These 2 video clips are too important for my studying. thank you very much again...

Imagine traslate this genes in to humans. It will be the rabbi nigthmare hehehe. Oh and liposuctions will be useless too.
In a serious way makes me think, In our evolutive history, wheres a point when we choose inmunologic system over regenerative system?
