THAT REGENERATE!
http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,68962,00.html
Researchers have somehow (Even they aren't sure how) made a strain of mice that have hyper-regenerative abilities.
They even regrow (parts) of a damaged heart, and regenerate anything (aside from the brain) that is damaged.
Now, lizards and amphibians have the ability to regenerate their own bodies, but regeneration is not a mammal thing.
Naturally they are thinking of how this could help humans. If they can figure out how to get it to work. Plus, the treatment could be dangerously carcinogenic, and not much help for people who are lying in critical care being fed by a tube (Their muscles will still decay from inaction and everything)
But it could create a generation of superhumans...

I'm on a roll.

That's pretty crazy..... That won't be applied to humans for a long time though. It'll take way longer than a decade just to be ready enough to apply it to humans. Some human's may even end up like a bartoli baby.....

Wow, that's insane

I didn't know that salamanders regrew their organs.

:headbang: holy crap thats all i can say. except if that is one of those fake jokes articles things im gonna have to kill you :headbang:

Actually, I don't think its fake. I've googled it and it hits several different websites.
So if it is fake, then its a really good scam?

Oh, initially I thought it was the telomerase thing (which can be mucked around with to remove inevitable cell death).

This seems to be something different though, very interesting, even though the cancer risk would probably screw it all up.
