Gene Research Gives Hope of Reversing Baldness
Hair loss in humans might not be irreversible, suggest scientists who have helped create new hair cells on the skin of mice. It was thought hair follicles, once damaged, could never be replaced. A University of Pennsylvania team, writing in the journal Nature, say hair growth can actually be encouraged using a single gene.
Don't mice's teeth already regrow... uh, like, naturally and constantly?
"Soon humans will be re-growing amputated limbs. It's already been done with lizard's tails!"

I'm more for the idea of growing limbs on genetically altered pigs and grafting them, seems a lot more convenient.
Cool, you could make a self-assembling bacon sandwich!
It's true I tell you, feller at work's next door neighbour read it in the paper.
