Regeneration Achieved

Apparently, scientists at a US biomedical facility have finally achieved regeneration in mammals. Some genetically modified lab mice have had damaged organs and amputated parts grown back, from conditions that would have normally led to death. The scientists are optimistic that this capability can someday in the near future be transferred to humans once the proper genes are identified. Another interesting aspect is that injecting regnerative cells from one host into a non-modified host allows the second host to gain regeneration capabilities for several months. This has huge potential for medical and research purposes. It also smacks of Umbrella, Inc.
