Yeah so this shit is pretty badass! I wonder if they are going to charge an arm and a leg for this powder! Will Dick Cheney rub this stuff all over his body to try to live forever?
Man this is what I want to hear droogs, future shit, like this and laser wolfs and robot hookers.
An Ohio man completely regenerated a severed finger in only four weeks by applying a powder developed by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh.
Sixty-nine-year-old Lee Spievak lost a half inch of his finger, down to the bone, to the propeller of a model airplane.
"I put my finger in, and that's when I sliced my finger off," Spievak said, "We don't know where the piece went."
Doctors told Spievak that the loss was permanent. But then his brother, a researcher in regenerative medicine, sent him a powder and told him to apply it to the tip of his wound.
"The second time I put it on I already could see growth," Spievak said. "Each day it was up further. Finally it closed up and was a finger. It took about four weeks before it was sealed."
The finger appears to have grown back completely, including the nerves, nail and even fingerprint. Spievak says that he has "complete feeling [and] movement."
The dust Spievak used was developed by Stephen Badylak and colleagues, who produce it by scraping cells out of the lining of a pig's bladder, then immersing the rest of the bladder tissue in acid. The last remnants of cells are then cleaned out, and the processed bladder is dried into a powder. According to Badylak, this powder signals cells to regrow tissue, rather than scarring as they normally would.
"There are all sorts of signals in the body," Badylak said. "We have got signals that are good for forming scar, and others that are good for regenerating tissues. One way to think about these matrices is that we have taken out many of the stimuli for scar tissue formation and left those signals that were always there anyway for constructive remodeling."
Researchers, including some from the U.S. military, hope that the treatment can eventually proceed to the point of treating major burns or regrowing entire limbs. New clinical human trials on the technique are set to begin soon.

I checked the bbc article they used as a source and yeah, it's for serious

pretty crazy

there's a video! AAAHHH FINGER
can you link it
The part of the finger that regrew would have regrown regardless. It wasn't the magical pixie dust but his body doing it's thing.
Also, when will they have a powder to address the opposite problem?
why wasn't this all over the news being reported on by a man with glowing blue eyes
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7379745.stm
Gloves only hide the problem!
I was also wondering if this was true
wonder what the bbc is doing reporting this, then
I guess not every story gets thoroughly checked, especially if it's just the health section of their website
