Normally, leprosy is known to cause disability once it infects the nerves, skin and eyes.

"It is kind of mind-blowing," Prof Anura Rambukkana, from the University of Edinburgh's center for regenerative medicine said. "How do they do that? There is no cell therapy that can do that."

Fully grown liver cells are metabolic powerhouses with hundreds of jobs in the body.

But the bacteria are taking them back a stage - like becoming a teenager again - where they can rapidly increase in number before maturing back into adulthood.

According to research, it is possible to forcibly turn the clock back to the point at which cells regain the ability to become any other type of cell in the body - but this runs the risk of turning them cancerous.

"The [leprosy] bugs use alternative pathways," Rambukkana stated. "It's a much safer way and they take a longer time to do that, so this is a natural process."
