welcome back today we're exploring an
0:03
intriguing question are axolot immune to
0:07
cancer axolot often called Mexican
0:10
walking fish are known for their unique
0:15
abilities they can regrow entire limbs
0:17
spinal cords hearts and even parts of
0:19
their brains research has shown that
0:21
axotal have a significantly lower
0:23
incidence of cancer compared to other
0:27
animals this has led scientists to
0:29
investigate the reasons for their
0:30
apparent resistance one Theory suggests
0:33
that their regenerative capabilities
0:35
might play a role when an axel lotel
0:38
regenerates tissue it replaces damaged
0:40
or potentially cancerous cells with new
0:43
ones this process could help prevent the
0:46
development of tumors additionally
0:48
axotal possess unique cellular
0:51
mechanisms that may contribute to their
0:54
resistance their cells are highly
0:56
efficient at repairing DNA damage which
0:58
is a key factor in preventing ing
1:01
growths while axotal are not entirely
1:04
immune to cancer their remarkable
1:06
biology offers valuable
1:08
insights scientists continue to study
1:10
these creatures in hopes of uncovering
1:12
new ways to combat cancer in humans so
1:16
there you have it axotal may not be
1:18
completely immune to cancer but their
1:20
unique traits make them a subject of
1:21
great interest in medical research
1:24
thanks for joining us on this journey
1:25
into the study of axotal stay curious
