Regrowing Fingers - Tissue Regeneration Technology Already Exists 2007-10-09 12:00:00 A Doctor, a Pig, and a Magical Pixie Dust That Could Regrow Fingers ... Spievack had never seen a plane act this way. He got down on his knees for a closer look, and just as he said, "You've got to get rid of this thing," he pointed at the engine, inserting his middle finger directly into the propeller's path. "And that's how I cut my finger off," he says. Over the years, Dr. Stephen Badylak ...

Cancer Cure May Be Available In Two Years 2007-09-20 04:53:00 Cancer cure 'may be available in two years' Cancer sufferers could be cured with injections of immune cells from other people within two years, scientists say. US researchers have been given the go-ahead to give patients transfusions of “super strength” cancer-killing cells from donors. Dr Zheng Cui, of the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, has shown in laboratory experiments that ... Cancer
