Does Axolotl mucus really kill breast cancer cells & MRSA — without harming healthy cells. Or might these peptides tap into the same bioelectric pathways @drmichaellevin explores to halt aberrant cell growth?

Axolotls are known for their ability to regenerate but they may be used to cure something else! In a recent study, their mucus membrane was analyzed, and it could target something very important. Check out our latest #YouTube short for all the info! https://t.co/mUkI5eJhSy

How do tardigrades survive radiation? A recent paper has shown 3 genes are responsible for the survival of these animals to radiation levels lethal to humans. What are they? Check out our latest #YouTube short for more info! #scicomm #stem #sciants https://t.co/aykJqAz144
