Three years ago, Lee Spievack sliced off the tip of his finger in the propeller of a hobby shop airplane.

What happened next, Andrews reports, propelled him into the future of medicine. Spievack's brother, Alan, a medical research scientist, sent him a special powder and told him to sprinkle it on the wound.

"I powdered it on until it was covered," Spievack recalled.

To his astonishment, every bit of his fingertip grew back.

"Your finger grew back," Andrews asked Spievack, "flesh, blood, vessels and nail?"

"Four weeks," he answered.

A very awesome video of them growing...printing.... cells on a HP printer!!! :D

I am so impressed!! It should give some folk alot of hope.

I find it hard to believe no one posted anything about this. I posted it on another forum and got over 30 replies.
*Well, of course it was a scientific forum, maybe that is what the difference was.*

This is cool. I was wondering when they'd be able to do that.
