Abstract

The Greek gods punished Prometheus for giving their fire to humans. Each day, an eagle would tear out his liver; every night it would grow back again. Although bodily regeneration has existed in myth for millennia, only certain tissues will, in fact, regenerate. Over the last two decades, many companies have tried to transform regenerative ability into reality.
