New scientific methods are being utilized at Brook Army
Medical Center to help re-grow human limbs. In an emerging field known as
Regenerative Medicine, a powder consisting of pig tissue is sprinkled onto the area
where doctors hope to re-grow a limb or tissue. Doctors then rely on the
patient's stem cells to recognize the power and rejuvenate growth of limbs or
other body parts. While the new method is still in early stages of human
testing, doctors are hopeful that the innovation will lead to a better quality
of life for many people across the world.
