Magic powder makes woman's fingertip grow back

Okay, not magic, but it is pretty cool. Doctor I know put this stuff on a fusion and something that at best would heal in 2 months healed in 2 weeks.

Woman's persistence pays off in regenerated fingertip - CNN.com

Did her tougue split and her skin grow scales? I thought genetic alterations were in a tab, not a pill.

that's been around for quite some time. the guy who discovered it tested it on his brother's missing fingertip and that started the whole thing. pretty cool.

I just had my right bicep tendon surgically reattached. I wish they had had some of that white powder to put on it.

This really sounds amazing. It makes one wonder where we could be in another thousand years, if we can just keep going with all this.

Medicine is getting very good. Scary good.

*parf*
Stem cell research is one place that a lot of advances will come from. Count on it.

I figured it wasn't, Doc. I was merely stating that there is good to be found in stem cells.

I can't wait until I get into pharm school and figure out what all this stuff means!

I would love to know how that actually works... I was expecting it to resemble a finger but show some deformity. And isn't there bone out there?

Yup, it will even make hair grow back where you were bald, or that is what the slides looked like to me, don't think they have figured out the why or how completely. It is sort of trippy that the fingernail grows back too, that really should not happen.

Well, the finger was damaged above the nail base.
