Insight into mystery of antlers
Stem cells play a key role in the
deer's remarkable ability to grow new
antlers, according to research.
The deer is unique among mammals in
being able to regenerate a complete
body part - in this case a set of bone
antlers covered in velvety skin.
Experts at the Royal Veterinary College
hope the work could one day lead to new
ways to repair damaged human tissues.
Details were outlined in an edition of
the BBC TV programme Super Vets, which
was screened on 12 January.
