According to Michael Levin's research the answer is yes. However, there are
a number of factors surrounding this research that needed to be addressed
and understood first.
Similar animals along with humans share most cellular biology pathways. This
includes the pattern formation mechanisms, which is the basic step by step
processes, required to regenerate complex body parts such as the heart.
Dubua-Reymon
The most fundamental and essential mechanisms of
bioelectricity is likely to be similar to.
It was back in 1843 when the physiologist Emil du
Bois-Reymond first used a galvanometer to measure
currents in human skin and wounds. Since then they
have been used for hundreds of experiments on
animals by scientists.
Levin's team points out that these currents play an
important role in healing.
In important collaboration work with other scientists that Dr. Levin works with
at Tufts University. It was discovered that the resting potentials across the
cell's surface can control how they can differentiate into other types of cells.
However, the real power of this approach is not in how single cells are
controlled, but an insight into how bioelectric communications among large
groupings of cells, are directing the growth of complex structures.
What is needed for Humans Regrowing Lost Limbs?
There are two things needed.
1. Hacking the bioelectric matrix binary code, this will allow scientists to
understand the mapping of bioelectrical patterns into the development of
specific organs. The goal is now to figure out these patterns that are
encoded with the instructions of 'making a limb' signals.
2. A potential delivery vehicle is needed that will impose the right bioelectric
states on the cells in the wound or injury. So the road map ahead, that
would eventually allow regrowing of lost limbs in humans is to figure out
the correct signaling and then imposing the right delivery vehicle.
