Sept. 14, 2009 -- Scrambled brains and broken bones can both be healed with a new nanoparticle-infused hydrogel.
Developed by scientists from Clemson University, the gel creates new blood vessels and later encourages the body's own stem cells to replace dead bone or brain cells.

holy shit
Now to insert it into some kind of stimulatory pack of some kind... but whatever would we call it?
Maybe now i can regenerate my hands.
Maybe. :ninja:
Science!
:science:
Now [B]that[/B] is something really interesting (and usefull).
Finally. It's taken damn long enough.
Now all we need is to is genetically engineer an organ to synthesize this stuff, and distribute it around the body as needed.

Medkit...? :v:
Is this one of those things that won't be used for another 10 years?
What if someone drops a leg in the gel? Will it grow a body? D:

Yeah.

Whether it's mushy brains, broken bones or torn cartilidge, the nanoparticle-infused gel will only heal animal wounds for now. Five years of additional animal testing will be required before any human trials can begin, says Zhang. [/quote]
Five more years before they can even begin testing it on humans. And probably another five until it's ready for deployment and some more until it becomes wide-spread in use.

Does that mean i can still smoke weed? :D Yay!
I seriously wonder what would happen if this was used on a healthy person.

The gel encourages the body to [b]replace[/b] dead brain cells.
Not create new ones.
