Lee Spievack lost his finger tip in a model airplane propeller. His brother, an expert in regenerative medicine, sent him a special powder. Within 4 weeks, his finger was healed. Mr Spievak, who is 69 years old, shows off his finger, and it's all there, tissue, nerves, nail, skin, even his finger print.

This powder is a medical product called extracellular matrix. Made from pig bladders, it is a mix of protein and connective tissue surgeons often use to repair tendons. It's no longer in sci-fic only.

Let's predict what the organs can be regenerated in 2008? We may find more of its news on newspapers this year.
