Well, but this was polished.
So, again, there is a possibility that these cells are just hanging out, like...
polished granite, but researchers have some good reasons to think that these cells are potentially doing other things.
They found cells from the baby in the parent's scar tissue, essentially.
Uh-huh.
And again, it's possible that they're just sort of
randomly there, right?
Because as Amy was saying, these studies in humans aren't super firm evidence because we don't know what they would be doing to heal a body.
It's not clear that there are necessarily lots more fetal cells in this scar site than anywhere else in the body.
If you just sort of step away from humans for a second, there is some more definitive research that has been done in mice.
So in mice, they'll breed female mice with these special males so that some of their fetuses can create cells that fluoresce.
It's like a glow-in-the-dark feature.
And then the researchers can sort of dissect the mice or use machines to sort of track these glow-in-the-dark mouse fetus cells as they move through the mouse parent body.
Which is cool.
That's cool.
And again, something like that could also be happening in other mammals, including humans.
So it's not just sort of like C-section scars, healing injuries.
There's also been some research on how these cells that the parent gets from their fetus could potentially help with heart health.
So this is in mice, but it would actually help explain a phenomenon that doctors have seen in humans, which is basically like a lot of pregnant people develop heart issues.
So your heart is actually doing like a huge workout during pregnancy.
