The idea of being able to regrow lost limbs (and other body parts) has been a dream of we humans for hundreds and thousands of years. Ever since we first observed a whole range of animals regenerating lost limbs, tails, heart tissue, spinal cord tissue and more, we've wanted to figure out how to do it ourselves. And in the age of genetic modification, with technologies like CRISPR and stem cell tech, it seems like it should be something we can make work. But how feasible is it really? I take a look at this question and talk about how certain animals like Axolotls undertake the incredible process!
