Stem-Cell Gun Heals Burns By Spraying Victims With Their Own Stem Cells
Note: Video after the jump has some pretty gnarly burns in it, best watched mid-lunch.
Wow, a gun that sprays a patient's own stem-cells on a burn to magically heal it. Well, not actual magic because it looks like an airbrush and not a glittery wand, but I still wouldn't tell Merlin about it (he gets butt-hurt easy). Now I know what you're thinking -- "but does it work on nipples?!" And the answer to that, my friend, is stop burning them in the first place. "But my girl and I like to get kinky!" Yeah, NO. Letting your partner drip hot wax on your chest is kinky. Painting your moobs red and setting your nipples on fire like they're little volcanoes is just f***ing sick.
Hit the jump for a moderately gruesome video.

Seen here looking suspiciously like krazy straws, lab-grown urethras created from patients' own bladder cells have been successful transplanted and functioning properly. Please note: this doesn't mean you should go act all loosey-goosey with your wiener-tube. It's probably st... / Continue →

In today's feel good story, doctors in Italy successfully implanted this lil titanium pump into the chest of a 16-month old boy to act as his heart until a donor heart was found. Just don't go thinking about how you find another 16-month old heart for transplant, because I jus... / Continue →
