X-men The man who grew a finger!
SiFi's alway feature and fantasize sprays and powders that can instantaneously close wounds catalyzing then and there the process of tissue regeneration. Every time you watch
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine regenerate and heals his wounds, wonder how?
How? Well that's the truly remarkable part. It wasn't a transplant. Mr Spievak re-grew his finger tip. He used a powder - or pixie dust as he sometimes refers to it while telling his story.
Mr Speivak's brother Alan - who was working in the field of regenerative medicine - sent him the powder.
For ten days Mr Spievak put a little on his finger.
"The second time I put it on I already could see growth. Each day it was up further. Finally it closed up and was a finger.
"It took about four weeks before it was sealed."
Now he says he has "complete feeling, complete movement."
The "pixie dust" comes from the University of Pittsburgh, though in the lab Dr Stephen Badylak prefers to call it extra cellular matrix.
"I think that within ten years that we will have strategies that will re-grow the bones, and promote the growth of functional tissue around those bones" Says Dr Stephen Badylak University of Pittsburgh
