Limb regeneration 01/26/26(Mon)03:57:58 No.16899435 What biological magic do we need to harness to regrow limbs. Newts and crabs can do it. I know we aren’t newts and crabs but we’re smart.
A human embryo grows limbs from nothing. Why can that happen only once? Why does skin heal but fingers can’t grow back?

Stem cells. It's low key annoying that 99% of /sci/ threads can easily be answered by Google AI now. Literally STFU and type your question into Google and you'll get a better answer. kys

I guess crabs needed the ability to regrow limbs because they get their limbs cut often and if not they don't survive. Humans don't need them because that is not so often.

in the future you will just be given a pre-grown limb from a limb generator that grows body parts for amputees, this makes sense

So they will take your DNA, grow a limb in a lamb and then stitch it to you? Seems plausible because right now you can stitch fingers if they are not dead and the body reconnects to them.
