"This mouse was generated approximately 40 yrs ago and this ability to regenerate happens to be a property of that strain of mouse," says Heber-Katz. She speculates that the capability could have emerged by chance after generations of breeding and inbreeding.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciencentral.com/articles/view.php3?article_id=218392774&cat=1_6"><P>In further experiments, these so-called "healer mice" also regrew tissue in the tail, the optic nerve of the eye, the toes, and even the heart. "After an injury to the heart in the healer mouse, the heart, after sixty days, recovers completely," she explains. "Whereas our control mouse shows severe scar formation and very little healing."</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9396982C-C0CC-4454-94A8-EECCDC7F0398/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
