their shedded antlers. Interestingly, in some cases rats can grow back a new
leg that was lost.

Humans do have some regenerative abilities also. For example, young
children whom have a slice of their finger tip lost, that finger tip will grow back.
This ability in children starts to disappear around the age of 12 and beyond.
Medical intervention would be required for adults and now developments
with extracellular matrix technologies can now stimulate partial or full regrowth
in an adult if the tip of the finger is lost.

However, regenerating a small body part is one thing, but if you want to
regrow back a whole lost limb? Perhaps there is a way to regenerate
damaged retinal tissues. Or regrow an entire eye?

Well my friends there is a good news on the horizon! Scientists like Michael
Levin feel this is where we are heading and does not think this is just science
fiction and outlandish fantasy. In fact Levin reflects he may be on the verge of
a breakthrough to do just that.

He proposes that the key to regeneration, in helping to unlock the hidden
codes, is to be found in the electrical signals that are transmitted among our
cells. This is very much like a computer matrix program or a sequencing of
binary codes of 1s and 0s stored on a computer hard drive.

In manipulating these signaling pathways he has been able to produce results
of four-headed flatworms. Continuing with experiments down the line he could
make regeneration in humans a reality.

Michael Liven whom is a Russian scientist born in Moscow, heavily
researched Dr Robert O. Becker's work The Electric Body in his early days
and traced down all the papers and findings that the book referenced and
documented. The end result was an extensive bibliography study into
