The injected green algae (green) is located in the blood vessel (magenta), like a string of pearls
Frogs live a dual life in water and on land, and they have many breathing techniques throughout their lives-through their gills, lungs, and skin
Senior author Hans Straka from the University of Munich said: “Algae actually produce a lot of oxygen, and if you want, they can restore nerve cells to life
Straka was studying the oxygen consumption of the brains of African clawed frog tadpoles.
To explore this possibility, the research team injected green algae (Chlamydomonas) or cyanobacteria (Syechocystis) into the heart of tadpoles
After distributing the algae to the brain, the researchers separated the head of the tadpole and placed it in an oxygen bubble bath containing essential nutrients that would preserve the function of the cells, allowing the research team to monitor nerves Activity and oxygen level
"We successfully proved the principle experiment of this method
Although researchers believe that their findings may one day bring new treatments to diseases caused by stroke or hypoxic environments (such as underwater and high altitude), algae is far from ready to enter our blood circulation
Straka also envisions that his research will benefit other laboratories that study isolated tissues or organoids
"You have to have new ideas and new concepts to explore; this is one of the ways to advance science," Straka said
