Guy's horse bites a third of his finger off, he gets the finger out of the horse's mouth, goes to the doctor, but it's too late. Insurance says amputate, but the general surgeon says lemme try this new technique and voila! 9+ weeks later, he's got bone, tissue, nail, etc.

Pretty freaking cool!

That's pretty cool he basically used the same scaffold technique that they (being Dr Atala at Wake Forest) are using to grow kidneys. still very much a practice in its infancy but it's god real promise.
