He says the work has implications not just for entire limb regrowth, but for "smaller, less ambitious" goals such as scar-less healing.

Finding a way to prevent scarring isn't exactly moderately ambitious plus aren't the two connected? If you can't stop scarring you won't be able to regenerate limbs.

Anyway, it's a nice article. Thanks for sharing, trendycat. The axolotyl looked very funny too, by the way.

Recent developments in limb regeneration and scar-less healing:

Here's hoping for a cure within 20 years.

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no acne too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

Interesting.

Well said. Except the last sentence which I bolded I don't agree with.

Well. Considering a lot of celebrities undergo quite risky procedures purely to improve their appearance, I don't see why It's inaccurate. Some take drugs to keep them awake, drugs to get them to sleep, drugs to enhance their performances and more drugs just to help them leave their houses. A lot of celebrities have caused accidental overdoses because they can't cope with the lifestyle, but continue to take drugs because their career means more to them than simply getting help. 

 

The above is just an example and I know all celebrities aren't the same, but there are a lot of celebrities that choose their career over things that really matter. Angelina in this case put her kids and her health first.

For some women it is almost 100% necessary to have a double-mastectomy because the chances of them getting breast cancer are so high (due to a gene that they carry) that it's almost guaranteed that they will get cancer and only a matter of time before they do. Those that carry the gene are more liable to getting aggressive (fast spreading) forms of cancer that almost 9 times out of 10 kill the individual that inhabits it.

 

Some women have mothers, aunts, grandmothers and great-grandmothers all which have died in their 40s-50s because they were carriers of this gene. The decision Angelina Jolie made is one that I assume was very difficult, but at the same time very sensible. I take my hat off to her - most high-profile celebrities would chose their careers and appearance over their health.

Well said. Except the last sentence which I bolded I don't agree with.

I heard about this today and was saddened. Christina Applegate had this done as well. I saw her speaking about it with tears rolling down her cheeks in a talkshow. Such a traumatic thing... Hard to imagine what they are going through. And they're both fairly young as well...

Angelina Jolie had both of her breasts removed fearing that she might have cancer in the future.

This news shows me that people go through tough times and that life is not easy. I may be complaining about my stupid acne and thinking that God has cursed me for good but when I see stories like these, I realize that each of us deals with his or her battle. Life is simply not easy... we just have to have courage to face it without fear.

You've got nice hair in your photo.

Anyway, I think when there's chemistry between two people there automatically is laughter. But sometimes I hear women say they "need a guy to be funny" and it just rubs me the wrong way as the way they put it it really is something else that they are referring to than when I was referring to "chemistry".

I never said he HAS to be funny its jst wat girls go for that's all but then again a lot of girls like shy guys its cute actually

 

Here we go again. "I need a guy to be funny". Why don't you go and date a comedian then? It's just so immature to me. This type of thinking.

 

To say that personality is more important than looks and subsequently saying that if a guy isn't funny he isn't worth dating doesn't make you come across as someone who isn't superficial. It's incredibly superficial to say "This guy is boring" and to subsequently lose interest in getting to know someone.

 

to be truly honest with you girls go for personality more than looks, as long as you come across as someone whos outgoing, funny, caring, and understanding your good. so don't put yourself down because you got scars
