Regenerating like a salamander 2 (with pig's bladder)

I love this world!

Two mounth ago I posted a link to an article telling about the future possibility to regenerate part of our body. The prevision tell about 10-15 years to be realized. (here)

And now :

Lee Spievak is the first documented person to have experienced successful regeneration: he lost half an inch (~1.3 cm!!!) of flesh, down to the bone cutted by the blades of a spinning propeller on a model airplane.
A powder made from pig's bladder (all parts of the pig are useful... :D), developed by a lab at the University of Pittsburgh do the miracle.
