Scientists have developed a powder, made from pig tissue, called “pixie dust”, which can be used to re-grow severed members (ie fingers). This dust tends to trick the body to regenerate the missing tissue similarly to a salamander.

First person to try this new technique is US Army Sgt. Shiloh Harris, who lost his finger from a bomb in Iraq.

This regenerative medicine promises to help amputees to regain lost members.
