Imagine re-growing a severed fingertip, or creating an organ in the lab that can be transplanted into a patient without risk of rejection. It sounds like science fiction, but it's not. It's the burgeoning field of regenerative medicine, in which scientists are learning to harness the body's own power to regenerate itself, with astonishing results. Correspondent Wyatt Andrews brings you to the scientific frontier.

  • this obviously isn't as important as amputees or wounded soldiers, but what if someday, in the future, this literally became the answer to all of our problems? ugly? grow a new face. smoker? grow new lungs/heart/everything else. want to get ripped quick? you get where i'm going with this. for now though, this is an amazing achievement, some could even say a miracle.
