Scientists have successfully “grown” a new living rat limb using tissues and a leg from a deceased rat. The limb is able to circulate blood and contract at 80% of the strength of the appendage of a new born rat. Now before we get too excited this feat in science research is merely a step towards relinquishing our reliance on mechanical prosthetics. We’re still unable to create bone and marrow (along with many other things) Creating a limb and being able to efficiently and profitably attach these body parts to a living being without complications is a whole ‘nother ball game. Advances in technology are being made every day.
