Imagine regrowing skin following a burn,

Regrowing organs lost to cancer?

Regrowing damaged nerves?

Even regrowing a lost limb?

Your foreskin?

Ladies and Gentlemen, science may have come across something astonishing:

Regenerative Powder

Very interesting!

Why Jason that's incredible. It's just amazing what they keep coming up with. Soon we'll all be living 200+ years. Sheesh, what would we do with the extra time?

Will it make my dick grow? Will restore my foreskin? (somebody had to be the first to ask!)

The OP actually did ask about the foreskin!

Regeneration is great, but how about a miracle cure for autoimmune diseases and cancer?

Stem cells are awesome. That is all.

Odd that they didn't mention the bladders that have been artificially created. I think a little girl born without a bladder was one of the first. This happened oh, about a year or 2 ago.

I saw that CBS News story too. I couldn't believe the guy lost a whole digit on one finger and it grew back. I wonder if it is going to work for the amputees.

HOLY SHIT!

That's amazing.

I wonder how many guys would lop off their wang in the hope it grows back bigger, lol

ntstatic · 02-18-2008

and what are the chances of getting a smaller one, lol.

Hellboy0 · 02-18-2008

Wow... I hope it really works on those amputee soldiers.

Mem · 02-18-2008

It seems amazing, lets hope it works.

1st. WOW
2nd. WOW

Some scientists actually just recently grew an entire heart from scratch using the ECM from a heart and applying stem cells to it. Looks like whatever dictates stem cell fate is an intrinsic part of the ECM.

Where are all our friends to tell the scientists to stop playing God?

Cool link, Jason!

I wonder if it will make women's breasts grow bigger! :p
