A fascinating future is ahead for regenerating, at the very least, skin.

[Bob434]

good news for melanoma folks who get it on their faces or arms- also wonder if this will be able to combat flesh eating disease

Jello....a tasty dessert and now part of every first aid kit.

Is this the future of breast augmentation?

They’re going to be rich!!! RICH!!! I tell you!!!!

[DannyTN]

Or at least it would have been in my day.

Now it will probably be sold as butt augmentation. (sigh)

Yet another proud moment for embryonic stem cells; Not.

It would be very positive if Kidney / Liver / Pancreas could be regenerated in this manner.

[ConservativeMind]

Actually, the liver should generally regenerate.

It is even possible to reduce cirrhosis, and a relative is doing exactly that after 30+ years with Hepatitis C.

Star Trek medicine coming true.

Growing new skin and organs in a laboratory is exactly what all the biotechnology companies are working on.

My son went up to a company in Maine that is trying to figure out how salamanders can regenerate their limbs.

The US military is very interested in being able to patch battlefield injuries. They are granting money to several different research companies trying to grow skin.

The first company that can grow a liver, kidney, heart in a lab is the next billion dollar company.

[Chickensoup]

babies who lose fingers and toes when very young will regenerate them

[BipolarBob]

Would this work for penile augmentation? Asking for a friend.
