Regenerative 'Medicine'

Unread postby UIUCstudent01 » Thu 01 Sep 2005, 18:11:54

Holy Shitake. This has been posted on Slashdot, but I'm tiring of the NO coverage (not bothered, it's just I've been reading too much of what's wrong with the world - yech).

Mice Regenerating

This is pretty big stuff.

First: Mammals don't normally regenerate.
Secondly: This probably could be applied to humans. It probably isn't that large as a step from mice to humans than to worms and amphibeans to mice. (Getting to this step will be hard though...)
Third: It might also extend the life-span (for better, and for worse).

I find this to be absolutely crazy. People could lose a finger - be injected with cells - and have it eventually grow back.

It could mean people that get a damaged back - can regrow the nerve cells in the spine and be A-Ok.

CRAZY!

Well, I hope civilization doesn't end before 2050 or so in mass apocalyptic nuclear doom fighting for oil wells. :twisted:
