Mitosis reversed. Incompletely, but still... Here's the Nature paper(PDF). Here's the video (direct link to QT). Oh, and we can print organs now. O brave new world! (via, via)
I'd like to order 1000 brains please.

Oh man, Jesus is gonna be sooooo pissed. I bet he doesn't come back from the dead for three *months* this year.

Mitosis issues don't affect Jesus, since he's haploid.
I think that's probably what the "H" stands for in "Jesus H. Christ!"

No big deal. Call me when they get to squeeze two twins into one person. Extra points if they merge Danny deVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Oops - sorry, must have messed up when I recopied it. Thanks for correcting me, termite!
I don't think it's quite the breakthrough some might make it out to be, but it's certainly interesting! The most interesting statement is that they had changed a process they earlier thought impossible to affect, which supports the idea that other unexpected successes like this are possible.

Hurrah- at last we will be able to invent by far the messiest death imaginable- causing you to revert to foetal form in a few short minutes, before you decay into a globule of dead stem cells.

Or worse--just when you sighingly disconnect from this blue fleshy pumpkin, you and your soul, like centromeres, could be forced to re-visit your past. From the release of death, back to arranged reality.
