May be a hoax, maybe not, Jamie.
Alan Spievack, Harvard professor, cellular regeneration pioneer and the creator of the dust, died in March from bladder cancer. He's not around to defend his creation, and his brother Lee (the man whose finger "regrew") claims that his big brother was a genius. It's kinda sad, because I think Lee tried to get more notice for his dying brother's work, and it may have backfired.

I would say, though, that the extracellular matrix is much more than just a dumb piece of scaffolding: it is involved in complicated cellular signalling; has a major role to play in tissue repair, and controls the development of a growing foetus in a way which is believed to stop after growth is complete, but which might – if we can learn to control it – deliver real breakthroughs, _________________ Dom
