Axolotl and genome therapy

Axolotl, the walking fish is an animal, what doesn't have cancer and what can renew it tissues incredible fast. This animal is endangered, because of pollutions and there is the only couple of places in nature, where this animal can be found. The reason for that danger of the animal is pollutions because the skin of this tiny animal is so sensitive, and it would not stand the pollutions. The "walking fish" interests people, because that animal would not have cancer, and it can grow the new foot or organs if it's injured, and it actually can renew almost every part in its body.


This small salamander can also regenerate the neurons, and that is very attractive for persons, who are creating the cure against cancer. If the massive part of the brains must be removed in the case of a brain tumor or accident, there is the possibility that in the someday the Axolotl can help us to regenerate the new brain tissue, in the case of accidents or tumors, and in the cases, where the person would go underwater too long time the brains can destroy because the loss of oxygen. The accidents are the most common thing, what could take the person to the neurological hospital for rest of the life. And if we could regenerate the neurons, we could rescue those people live.


If we could renew our hands or other parts of the body the surgery would be more easy and effective than today. If there would be the tumor in the hand or leg, the doctor could make amputation, and then the new hand or leg would be grown to replace the removed body part. And in the wildest dreams could the doctors create the entire new body for patients. If doctors could use the own tissue of the person,  that would help against immune reactions. There is one very interesting fact with the name of this little salamander. It is named after the Aztec god of lightning and death, and here we must ask, "why this tiny animal has been named after this god"? Did Aztecs use the abilities of that small lizard for some purposes? Those are the interesting things, where we can get answers in some day.

Image recognition is the very interesting method to track the members of well-known families




Could Mona-Lisa portrait
the sister of Leonardo Da Vinci?

Here I'm writing pure theoretical text, and I will not go out to track some members of Rockefeller family.  Here "well-known families" don't mean any Rockefellers. They can mean members of the famous painter's or inventors families. And if the skills to make paintings could be genetically hereditary, could those people be as good painters or inventors as their ancestors.  Image recognition is the very good method to one very interesting thing. That is select people for DNA test if they are suspected members of some well-known families.  When we would use the image recognition we can compare example the images of old paintings, and then photographs.


Those systems would give an answer, how many percent that computer found from some faces from old paintings and people, who are in some photographs. In theory, that system can use to track as an example the members of a family of Leonardo Da Vinci. If the faces of Da Vinci family portraits have the very high level of similarities between those images and some person, whose photograph is used in the comparison, this person would be the interesting target for IQ-test. But we don't know sure, have Leonardo painted a single painting about his family members. But sometimes I have thought that maybe Mona Lisa is a portrait of the sister of Leonardo Da Vinci.


And in that case, we might use Mona Lisa for making comparisons in those tests.  Those computerized compliment systems can track also members of some families, by using photographs. That system is not, of course, give absolute answers about hereditary membership of some family, but if we think about the genome investigations and similarities of faces of some families, that image recognition can help to find the people, who would be interesting deliverers for DNA samples.


The similarities between faces of some families have been forming the "trademark" of those families. One of them is the lower lip of Habsburg family. That kind of systems can also use to track the family members of some war criminals and misuse it is very dangerous. And also the use of image recognition for that purpose could be illegal. But there would be possible to find those persons by following their family members.
