Inspired by the Nature <\/h2>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

In the sixteenth century, Leonardo da Vinci wrote<\/span>:<\/p>\n

\u00ab <\/span>Take your lessons in nature, that’s where our future is<\/span><\/em>\u00a0\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be inspired by nature and especially by the ocean \u2013 a vast reservoir<\/strong> of potential medical solutions.<\/p>\n

Thirteen Nobel prizes<\/strong> in medicine have been attributed to scientists who have been inspired by the ocean<\/strong> and aquatic environments.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • In 1908, Elie Metchnikoff discovered phagocytosis<\/strong> (principle of immune defence against bacteria with white blood cells) thanks to a starfish<\/strong> and is considered the father of cellular immunity. <\/span>\u2028<\/span><\/li>\n
  • In 1913 Charles Richet, thanks to jellyfish<\/strong>, discovered anaphylaxis, furthering our understanding of allergies<\/li>\n
  • In 1931 Otto von Warburg discovered how the human respiratory enzyme (hemoglobin) works<\/strong> by studying sea urchins<\/strong>. He also discovered, with sea urchins, that fertilization is carried out with only one sperm per ovocyte.<\/li>\n
  • In 1963, Andrew Huxley & Alan Hodgkin <\/span>were able to show how nerve impulses are exchanged between cells<\/strong> by measuring changes in electrical charges in a very large nerve fiber from a species of octopus<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
  • In 2000 Eric Kandel discovered the molecular basis of memory through the study of the sea slug’s nervous system<\/strong>. He has shown that interactions between nerve cells are essential for learning and memory.<\/li>\n
  • In 2001 Timothy Hunt identified the key molecules involved in cancer through his research on starfish.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Finally, more recently, in 2009, Jack Szostak, Elizabeth Blackburn & Carol Gredier were awarded a Nobel Prize for their work on the functioning of telomerase enzymes.<\/strong> The “telomeres” at the end of chromosomes have long been known to protect chromosomes during cell division. The telomerase findings, which were made by studying a tiny organism living in ponds<\/strong>, could help to counteract cell aging<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    So many examples prooving that the ocean can provide many medical answers. 90% of marine species are still unknown. Let’s discover them, let’s get inspired by them and let\u2019s protect these incredible treasures!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
