Body Parts

There is new research being done in Wake Forest. They are growing body parts, this could the next huge thing for medical and scientific research because of all of the possibilities that could come with this new fronter. They are making models of different body parts then taking stem cells form that same body part from the person who needs a transplant. People die each day waiting for a proper transplant. This would enable you to have your vary own body part made form your own cells. They have already done a few trails, they very successful. They plan to start more test very soon. They key to regenerative growth is how fast can it be completed. At Wake Forest they can make a body part in only 6-8 weeks. The Pentagon id spending a ton of money on this research to help military personnel recover from damaged or missing body parts. A new development is being researched, at a centre for training for people who had lost a part or injured in battle, to them they call it "pixie dust". This powder tricks the body into thinking that its still in the womb and starts to repair damaged areas of the body.
