Why Can We Regrow A Liver (But Not A Limb)?

- Unlike lizards, humans can’t regrow limbs. But we can kinda-sorta regenerate our livers. Ceri, an undergrad in Biology and Comparative Media Studies at MIT, explains how and why.

Good to know my liver regenerates! Party on dude!!!!
this channel has awesome vids, thank for the content
Great video, always wondered about this
This is sooooooo interesting. Thank you.
I always wanted to join MIT... for science!
Good topic revisiting Evaluation.
this was such a good video.
Informative sister thanks...
Wouldn’t you need an ‘amniotic sac’, with stem cells systematic to the organ your trying to clone?
This is so interesting
Awesome girl and awesome video thanks !
how may day it take to regenerate liver cell
Our liver is the key to our existence.
Thanks!
Now I can continue drinking peacefully
No donot
Got em back. { Keep going bois. }
has no one thought of this in 5 - 2 years
Can we not preserve pluripotent stem cells elsewhere artificially?
Ruturaj Gole I believe that it is possible to preserve pluripotent stem cells. However, ethical concerns have been raised because of an embryo's inability to stop this procedure. The most likely way that we will be able to grow limbs is by growing stem cells artificially.
This might draw a little controversy, but: Why not just artificially conceive a human zygote, extract the pluripotent stem cells, and inject them into an injured patient?
Whether or not the adult human body even knows what to do with the pluripotent stem cells would be its own major question- and/or group of questions- to answer, and a worthy one to pursue in my opinion.
I wonder if there are pains as it regrows
For human livers or lizard limbs?
I'll drink to that!
this is what I was searching for..and she is so sweet and beautiful..
Cool shit
Sometimes reptiles behave as if they had superpowers.
Exactly, everytime I try to catch a lizard they run like they're the flash...
Some can jump high as fuck too.
Can’t we regenerate skin and hair too?
WizFiz yeah I guess we do but it depends because we do see cancer patients without hair and that’s because of their uncontrolled growth of cells.
@@pompom2621 and chemotherapy?
Pompom no it is because chemo that your hair falls off because chemo kills cancer cells and good cells
So if I activate my stem cells again I will become like Deadpool and wolverine and able to regenerate my own cells and missing limbs and missing organs?
as long as in talks of regrowth, there's cancer
nice video, though this comment section sucks
It has nothing to do with size. A tiny mouse cannot regenerate!
The only reason I clicked this was bc I have a leopard gecko lol
Project power lol
As mind blowing as it may be, to the unbelievers, I believe that you can heal to the level that you believe. As in 'Biology of Belief'... Lizards were not told by 'doctors' that they couldn't heal.
if that was the case then there should be at least one individiual who has regenerated his limb.it never occurred not even once

My uncle told me this
We can regrow our liver?
We regenerate skin, which is our largest organ. We can also regenerate our ribs, since God needed Adam's rib to create Eve.
@MEME MAN We can. Doctors have proven this via stemcell research. One of most potent areas for stem cells is the rib. If cut correctly in order to extract stem cells the rib will grow back.
@MEME MAN That's fair. If I say something I need to be willing to support it. Here you go.

Please respond after reading to confirm, in order for everyone reading this after us can confirm that you received what you asked.
@MEME MAN This sounds like semantics. A piece of rib "is" still a rib, is it not? Furthermore, Moses wrote Genesis 3,900 years ago, meanwhile USC is just now discovering this reality in 2014. I'm going to conclude that the bible knows more about this than institutions that are just now discovering the basics of what was written 3,900 years ago. Think about it, the same story also said that God put a "great sleep" over Adam. That also sounded pretty ridiculous to folks until medical anesthesia was discovered in the 1840's. Maybe the doctors are the novices here...did you ever consider that? Maybe the doctors are the one's who don't know enough at this point. God isn't verifying the Doctor's, but the Doctor's verifying God.
@MEME MAN (That's like saying a coma is the same as death.) I doubt comparing a rib to rib is the same as comparing long duration of unconciousness to death, as they are not the same. This is why trying to respond to something like "show me actual proof that God exists", when you're engaging in conversation where samantics are used with such determination in an effort to avoid admission that the medical field has proven what a book 3,900 year old has written in it would be futile on my part. The irony here isnt even the rib, its the fact that God took the rib to create woman, and doctors today take the rib in order to extract stem cells in an effort to grow limbs, once again showing that this 3,900 year old book knew something that we're just now beginning to understand. So it's crystal clear to me that I cant show proof of God to anyone who can't even see this connection...or dont want to see this connection, whatever is the most accurate statement.
@MEME MAN (that would explain a lot of ancient inventions and fast evolution of technology.) Or maybe your theory is your way of denying God.
You're beautiful and have sweet voice 😄☺
There was an old man who sliced off his finger and grew it back completely using something in pigs bladder...
that turned out to be a hoax
it was just denaturated extracellular matrix dust.fingertips regenerate if not stiched anyway
Hurry MIT, and future out how i can keep drinking alcohol for another 50 years on my regenerated liver..... Times running out!!!!
Also kidney pancreas heart
you are so pretty gotta be honest i got distracted alot during the video because of it
This suks
God is a fact evolution is a theory
God hasn't been proven so He's also a theory.
+Varuni K God is not a theory in the first place!
to deny god people made theories and fake proofs but denying God is denying one own self and whole reason of existence!
Tehreem shaikh Your proof? Other than a book written thousands of years ago that is.
Tehreem shaikh I really hope you don't become a lawyer. That would really suck for your client
+Varuni K yes your wish is granted 😂
Lizards can't regrow legs and neither can we however they can regrow tails which we dont have, we have no use for a tail so although that may be cool an all we have evolved out of it so we arent catching up to them.. how does regrow tail = regrow human limbs?
they can, not all lizards, but newts and salamanders.
