I imagine the military will be highly interested. Sounds vaguely Sci-fi to me, with lots of implications for anti-aging as well.

“We have experimented with amputating or damaging several different organs, such as the heart, toes, tail and ears, and just watched them regrow,” she said. “It is quite remarkable. The only organ that did not grow back was the brain. Bad news for liberals.
