'Can we get away from breathing as a way to keep our brains going?'
"Can we get away from breathing as a way to keep our brains going?"Thanks to some biological tinkering, a team of scientists found a way to keep tadpoles alive, even after taking away their ability to breathe.
The Ludwig Maximilians University researchers injected photosynthetic algae into the tadpoles, creating a symbiotic relationship between amphibian and microbe that keeps the amphibians alive without any environmental oxygen,. It's an odd experiment that could have important medical value — keeping someone alive when a stroke cuts off their brain's oxygen supply, for example — but it's also a fascinating step forward in biological experimentation in its own right.
