I found an article on ScienceDaily.com about bone regeneration. Check out this quote:
"ScienceDaily (July 24, 2012) — Researchers at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) have developed a new method of repairing bone using synthetic bone graft substitute material, which combined with gene therapy, can mimic real bone tissue and has potential to regenerate bone in patients who have lost large areas of bone from either disease or trauma."
You know what that means, Doctor Connors, from the new Spiderman movie, might actually be rooted in some sort of truth. I’m not saying that they are using reptiles but what I am saying that there is a potential for reptilian like regeneration in the future. How crazy is that?
Could you imagine falling a 3 story fall landing on your feet destroying the bones in your not only in your legs but in your back and in a matter of weeks being on your feet again like nothing happened. Regeneration is not only for healing the sick and broken but the implications on aging could be revolutionary.
You will never be old again (thank God, I was starting to get a little worried because I’m staring my 30’s in the face). Our bodies work on what seems to be a timer, technically we regenerate on a cellular level replacing old skin cells with new skin cells but as you age the regeneration slows and once it slows enough that’s when the aging process begins to show. Your skin gets thinner and wrinkles don’t go away, you start to lose elasticity but with artificial regeneration it could all be a thing of the past. Fingers Crossed!
