The news comes from the University of Queensland, Australia and concerns the discovery of a protein capable of repairing brain cells. The study conducted by Australian researchers and published in the journal Science Advances could be a real breakthrough for medicine. The researchers carried out a study on a nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans) famous for being able to repair nerve cells through the so-called "axon fusion". The axon is a part of the neuron that acts as a transmitter of information (neuron-neuron or neuron-muscle signals and impulses) and therefore allows the nervous system to function properly. Its role is therefore of fundamental importance for the body, which is why the injury of the axons can cause serious damage. These axons, however, in some living beings, would be able to self-regenerate. And precisely in the invertebrates studied by Australian scientists, the axons still attached to the neuron would be able to regrow and merge with the severed part, restoring the connections.

A real step forward for medicine, since in the future genetic techniques could be used to produce and administer this fusogenic substance or to activate the Adm-4 protein in order to allow brain cells to self-regenerate permanently. What bodes well is that the Adm-4 protein turns out to be similar to a protein produced by a mammalian gene, therefore, probably, progressing with the studies, in the future it could be possible to induce this self-regeneration process also in humans.
