Scientists began to research and study stem cells when they found what they could do in salamanders; because salamanders have the ability to regenerate their tails after being ripped off, scientists thought that maybe the same regenerating tissue ( stem cells ) could be used in humans as well. This means injuries, such as fractures, can be fixed by placing these cells to the site of the injury. The stem cells build themselves up and fix the break by regeneration and multiplying; the damaged…
