This is utterly amazing. I can't even imagine what this could mean for so many people.

OTTAWA - American military researchers say they have unlocked the secret to regrowing limbs and recreating organs in humans who have sustained major injuries.

Using "nanoscaffolding," the researchers have regrown a man's fingertip and the internal organs of several test subjects.

The technology works by placing a very fine apparatus called a scaffold, which is made of polymer fibres hundreds of times finer than a human hair, in place of a missing limb or damaged organ. The scaffold acts as a guide for cells to grab onto so they can begin to rebuild missing bones and tissue. The tissue grows through tiny holes in the scaffold, in the same way a vine snakes its way up a trellis.

lol. Can you look beyond your.....um......

This is incredible. I'm floored.....I had no idea this type of research was anywhere close to this level. It can't be far off before new organs ravaged by cancer or other various diseases can be regrown ???

It's on the edge of the fountain of youth.
