This is interesting enough I had to share it. Hope it hasn’t been posted and this is the right forum.
Were this much closer to having a real life Lizard. I was half expecting to see a Dr.Conners be the lead scientist.
Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing it!
I hope they rush the work.
This is worthwhile.
…are you pondering what i’m pondering?
This is excellent.
About goddam time, too. You know how hard it is to fashion mouse crutches out of matchsticks?
Wow, First Nanotubes and now regenerating mammals. Science Fiction may be out of business in a few decades.
I think so, MacTech, but me and Pippy Longstocking? What would the children thing?
Well, we’ve seen where this kind of thinking leads…
Gosh, I hope this is for real.
So now they finally have someone to pilot the Hyperion starships?

“Zardoz speaks to you, his Chosen Mice!”
As revealed on Slashdot, this is old news. And these “regenerating” mice weren’t created. Ok, they were, but the tissue regenerating properties were discovered serendipitously.
Also being worked on are tiny adamantium mouse skeletons 
Um, yeah, considering that this woman has been publishing this mouse strain since at least 1997. In progressively crappier journals with laxer standards.
If I’m reading the data right (and I’ll admit that I only did a quick skim), this is a naturally occuring mouse strain which form little scar tissue in response to injuries and so heals slowly but more cleanly. I’m not seeing the regenerating limb thing, although I may have missed it. They’re also diabetic and have lupus-like eruptions. Also, they’ve shown that control over this healing effect is regulated by many genes, making it unlikely to be theraputically reproducible. I don’t think this is the wonder-mouse yet.
