  5. Real World Application The Pentagon has recently announced its plan to devote $250 million plan to study human limb regeneration That includes skin, ears, limbs and muscles Scientific evidence states that humans are possible for limb regeneration in our genes The military could use limb regeneration to heal soldiers from their injuries
