Copernic Reporter Posted September 1, 2005 Reporter Share Posted September 1, 2005 Australian Science Makes the Regenerating Mouse :rofl: Australian scientists have created mice which can regenerate absolutely any tissue excpet for the tissues of the brain. Heart, lungs, entire limbs, you name it. This is the first time this has been seen in mammals. The potential implications are positively mammoth. I thought this warranted attention. :)" http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid...035245&from=rss http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/commo...5E30417,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouldy Punk Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I was only thinking the other day how cool it would be if we could grow body parts back :) absolutely any tissue excpet for the tissues of the brain. Heart, lungs, entire limbs, you name it. heh, I had to read that a few times for me to get what that means. I read it as "absolutely any tissue except for the tissues of the brain, heat, lungs, entire limbs" so I was thinking "how's that a good thing?" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axel Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Excellent. I wonder if the same regeneration could be applied to all kinds of tissue damage.... this would make lifting weights and building muscle a LOT faster process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
