Starfish Gene
Check out this article from the New Zealand Herald. Scientists are using a gene from the starfish in an attempt to regenerate cells.
The lead of the story points to the goal of regenerating limbs, but look at this little piece at the end of the article:
Auckland University Professor Garth Cooper said New Zealand researchers hoped to use similar techniques to regenerate brain cells in patients with degenerative conditions such as Huntington's disease.
It never ceases to amaze the growth in medical research.
