As Scientific American annually runs an April Fools article, I wonder if this will be this year’s April Fools article.

Sadly, it takes approx. 18 years to grow a full adult limb.

I worked on a similar project for my post-doc work.
Unfortunately after going thru all my funding, I could only get humans to regrow their appendix or tonsils.
Needless to say, the Nobel slipped thru my fingers once again.

It reminds me of Madeline L’Engle’s book, Arm of the Starfish. I read it when I was little, and was sure limb regrowth would be happening by the time I was an adult.
Exciting stuff!

Thank God they’re using salamanders. Look what happened when Dr. Curt Conners used a crocodile as a base model.

I guess Shiva is an example of clinical trials gone wrong

NO! Haven’t they learned anything from comics? That’s how Hulk was created!

Wow! I was wondering about this myself. Sure it sounds far fetched but doesn’t every new and strange (almost impossible) concept?

I dont think this is a joke, sounds promising to me. I am awaiting kidney it would be a life-changing expirence if they could grow me a kidney. I am sure others on hemo-dialysis would agree hopefully if the pro’s are greater than the con’s. I am hoping that this will be a medical breakthroug for the thousands on dialysis.
