Wired News: Mighty Mice Regrow Organs

Wired News: Mighty Mice Regrow Organs

I had to actually comment on this one, because the implications of this discovery are mind-numbing. Just imagine.... regrow missing bits... fingers, toes, arms, legs, spinal cords, hearts, lungs... brains....

The most incredible part is, "When cells from the regenerative mice were injected into normal mice, the normal mice adopted the ability to regenerate." One simple innoculation and we could be immunized against injury, amputation, paralysis, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, alzheimer's.... Wow. Really, wow.

We stand perched on a precipice over the endless vista that is "The Possible", and the view is staggering.

    Yes: I believe that the possible is limited only by our willingness to believe and and reach for the goal,whatever it maybe.
