Australian Science Makes the Regenerating Mouse

Posted by samzenpus on from the cats-beware dept.

FruFox writes "Australian scientists have created mice which can regenerate absolutely any tissue except 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. :)"

    I for one also welcome our new Australiam overlords. Their obviously some sort of secretive country (possibly communist) that I can't find and information on.

    They corrected the spelling in the post to "Australian" from "Australiam" but couldn't be bothered to fix the word itself, since it wasn't Australian (or even Australiam) scientists but U.S. ones.

    Whoa. That's a darn good point. :) I'm un- myself, so, no big deal for me. But this brings up a lot of issues about what the body considers 'normal' and healthy.

    Finally, I small hope for the Republicans... ;-)

    But brains can't be grown, so Democrats are out of luck.
