Regeneration Secrets
Dean
Okay, this story is a mindblower if true: researchers claim they have discovered the secret of limb and organ regeneration in mice. They're able to get them to regrow limbs, digits, even vital organs including even the heart.
I'm dying to see the actual peer reviewed data on this. Anyone got a lead on it?
(Thanks Jerry.)

the one on heart regeneration is published in the proceedings of the national academy of science, very prestigious. the most recent paper is from 2003, though, so maybe the stuff in the article hasn't even been published yet (or the website i'm linking to hasn't been updated, heh).
