Aboslutely incredible. I wanna be first on human trials! Pick me!!!
Mouse is able to regenerate nearly every part of its body, save for the brain (which I thought was interesting.)
So... like... I wonder if they could make movie-style zombies. You'd have to shoot 'em in the head to kill 'em.

That is truly amazing, thank you for the link. I hope that this research continues to be positive. Could open up a whole new avenue in medicine.

It is very interesting research, but the newspaper overstates the case by quite a bit. It sounds like they were able to regenerate heart cells, not by any means a whole organ. Once they have actually published their results, we'll see!

In any event, it can obviously improve the chances of recovery significantly.

into the darkness an endless flight
a million flashes of delight.

OK i saw this article on fark... or was it slashdot, but anyway... i kept reading it as
"Mouse Re-gurgitates heart, kidneys, toes, limbs"
I was just a tad confused
that would be a cool thing for us humans to have, jeez alcohol companies would be happy!
