Recent findings identify specific genes that can create new cells in the inner ear. This progress moves the field closer to treating permanent hearing loss.What's confirmed:A combination of genes can generate new cells in the inner ear to replace those responsible for hearing. https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/humans-may-have-always-been-able-to-regenerate-body-parts-scar-tissue-just-gets-in-the-wayhttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/humans-may-have-always-been-able-to-regenerate-body-parts-scar-tissue-just-gets-in-the-way#u17715Mon, 29 Jun 2026 19:16:53 +0000Researchers suggest mammals may possess dormant abilities to regrow complex body parts. Current studies focus on redirecting the body's healing response away from scar formation to enable regrowth. Animal tests have successfully restored bone, joints, ligaments, and tendons.What's confirmed:Researchers used a two-stage treatment to restore bone, joints, ligaments, and tendons after amputation in animal studies.The ability to rebuild complex body parts in mammals may be switched off rather than lost.Salamanders regrow lost limbs by organizing cells into a temporary structure called a blast
